The Nameless Crown
Chapter 4 - First Mission

“What's a Small Garden?”

Then he closed the panel again. The first thing he saw was probably the beginning of the journey for him. A simple house that is not big. The roof is made of light green grass with a chimney that now puffs its white smoke into the air.

Made of very strong red brick. In front of him was a front door made of light brown wood with two bright red brick windows that began to be fragile. Without the slightest obstruction.

Ryan was quite curious about the house and eventually walked there. His footsteps were quite light, the wind again blew a little hard this time. Real-looking clouds were floating slowly in the sky there.

After he arrived right in front of the house, Ryan knocked on the door slowly. Faint but surely a footstep sounded from within. Then the door opened and showed a man as tall as he was.

Her hair was short brown, with two black pupils. When his arm he slid to open the door wider. Now he could see the man completely. Using short-sleeved white t-shirt with leather vest.

Long brown pants and brown shoes. Just above his head was a red question mark.

“Sorry, who are you?”

Not only his voice, expression, gesture, until his behavior is like a real human. Although he is actually an NPC—Non Player Character.

“No need to be that formal, my name is Ryan I'm a traveller.”

Then the NPC seemed happy when he heard that Ryan was a traveller. He let Ryan into the house. Shamefully Ryan came in even though he was a little nervous.

Ryan's first weakness, nervous when meeting strangers even though it's an NPC or hologram. So he was a little wary, but his vigilance melted as he sat on the wooden chair.

The NPC also brought some pastries with raisin toppings on top. A glass of water as well as a wooden plate containing candy that seems sweet. He put it on a wooden table near the fireplace. The NPC is also now sitting down and he is facing each other with Ryan.

“A-can I eat it?”

Ryan asked doubtfully, his face was a little sweaty because he had not been brought food like this for a long time. Even in the virtual world.

“Ah.. of course, it is okay. I am Lesta, a pastry maker.”

Ryan took the cake and chewed it slowly. Unlike ingredients that are not tasty or without taste, the cake has a sweet taste and a little taste wry due to the raisins. Then when he looked towards that NPC a name appeared above his head, Lesta.

It seems that an unnamed NPC will give rise to its own name when the NPC itself tells it its name. Ryan also recorded it in his head.

“Actually not long ago some Wild Rabbit hordes attacked the food supplies in the forest, I want to ask for your help to crush them. Would you help me, Ryan?”

Then a small panel appears in front of Ryan's face that Lesta can't seem to see. In the panel there is a mission that contains ...

[Kill The Wild Rabbit, Accept This Quest—Yes or No?]

Lesta is still waiting for Ryan's answer, he hopes that his request is granted even if not how much. But before that Ryan touched the down-facing arrow on the bottom side of that panel. Then there are some conditions that must be fulfilled and the rewards that will be obtained.

[Requirement]: - Kill Wild Rabbit 0/5

[Reward] : - Steel Dagger x 01

                                   200 Gill

After seeing that Ryan smiled a little then tapped on the Yes panel. He nodded slowly ...

“I'll take it”

“Ahh... thank you, then hope you succeed, Ryan.”

Lesta stood up smiling happily. He immediately shook Ryan's hand quickly, up and down. After that Ryan took some candy wrapped in green leaves to carry.

He put the candy in his black shirt pocket. Then a notification appears ...

[Obtain Small Candy x6]

To make sure that the candy has been stored properly. Ryan poked his pocket back then took one candy, he opened the leaf wrap and chewed it slowly. The taste of the candy is as sweet as wine.

Lesta who saw Ryan's face smiling happily, now she also joined in with a small smile. Ryan turned around and walked out of the house. Lesta waved her hand.

After being outside Lesta's house. The first thing he did was to display Map Area, Ryan immediately touched the open scroll at the top right. Whuss's voice rang back, then a giant panel appeared in front of Ryan.

Map view this time in the form of World, Area, Dungeon and Pillar. Located at the top, now he saw the World Map completely dark. It only left a small patch of light on its right side. The compass-shaped circle is on the upper right side of the Map.

Then he shifted the screen until it finally reached the Map Area, in view of it carefully. It is located in Wind Hill, West Green Plain. It turns out that uh was in the western part of a meadow.

But his mission this time should be to eradicate a bunch of Wild Rabbits in the forest. Then on the Quest panel, Ryan saw a mission with the name [Release The Food’s Stock]

“Release The Food’s Stock?”

Ryan was quite confused what mission it was? Is that the mission he received from Lesta. When he suppressed it, there were several explanations that seemed to be true that it was a mission from Lesta. Without him realizing there was an arrow in the Map Area.

The arrow is red, indicating a place that may be where the first mission will take place. In addition to the arrows he also saw the face of his Avatar was not far from that place.

Ryan immediately ran while opening the Map, tracing behind Lesta's house and through the shady forest. Trees with their hard brown stems rise to the top. Some are small, some are large, branched and at the end of the end there are leaves that are like afro hair.

At the top because it blends with other trees so it is difficult to describe. Surely like a sea of leaves, bushes he met with various animals such as small birds, caterpillars, spiders.

The sunlight that tried to break through the defenses of the sea of leaves on the forest ceiling was like flickering starlight at night. The light managed to break through even if only a little. Making the forest lighting not too bad.

Ryan heard a rustling sound from the direction where he was running, right in front of him. He immediately rushed to the origin of the sound and when he arrived. A surprising welcome grabbed his face and managed to scratch his left cheek.

So fast and made him fall. There is a scar in red, not blood but rather like damage to a system.

“E-eh!? .. pesky my HP is reduced.”

Ryan also realized that the color of his HP bar seen above the left was reduced, turning it into a light green that was originally dark green. Ryan got up and fumbled at the back.

“Ehhhhh!?. do not say that I was not given a weapon, a game that sucks.”

Ryan swiftly touched the hidden panel in front of him. The panel also appeared, he immediately shifted the Equipment section. Then look at what he uses. All complete from Armor, Acc, Shoes to Pants. But only in the Weapon section that is not filled.

“Gawat .. means I have to use a fist and a leg kick to fight them.”

He had realized that his equipment was complete, but only weapons that he did not have. A few seconds later and a strike began to strike Ryan again from the front. He rolled to the left side to avoid it.

After jumping out of the bushes, he saw three small white-horned rabbits like unicorns. The horns are yellow orange. Both eyes are small red while they have two fangs that come out of the bottom of his mouth to rise upwards.

Ryan looked carefully at the three rabbits. On top of their bodies was stamped-[Wild Rabbit]- with a level 1 mark and there was a dark green HP bar. Faced with three Wild Rabbits that were destroying Lesta's food supply.

The two Wild Rabbits immediately jumped up while pointing their sharp teeth towards Ryan. He also ran along while throwing two hard running blows. Both Wild Rabbits managed to bite both arms but after that crashed far away to hit the same tree.

“Ahkk... apparently the pain also feels real, it looks like my HP is reduced again.”

Ryan began to take a swing while Wild Rabbit who was still not moving now immediately jumped up and down towards Ryan. Ryan began to take one step back as the Wild Rabiit leaping towards him began to lung at him by pointing its sharp horn towards Ryan.

The backward step he replaced with a powerful side kick. That side kick managed to jolt the right side of the Wild Rabbit. So that they crashed and bounced until they hit the herd.

Their HP bars slowly faded away and finally emptied. The bodies of the Wild Rabbits were fragmented into multiple pixels and eventually melted into fading virtual data.

A notification suddenly appeared in front of Ryan....

—[Obtain Raw Meat x1]

—[Obtain Wooden Shield x1]

After that Ryan smiled a little. His first mission had yielded quite satisfactory results for him. But one panel reappears after the notification appears ...

[Would You To Use The Wooden Shield ... Yes/No?]

Ryan was now weighing, if he did not have a weapon then the choice to use a wooden shield is quite beneficial for him. He finally knocked on the choice... Yes.

A bluish light appeared on the back of his left hand. The light then forms a five-square wooden shield with the end facing down. Along the edge there is a dark blue metal with nuts that already look dark yellow rust.

The wooden shield did not seem to be in its prime condition. Ryan also touched the hidden panel then chose the Equipment option and sure enough the feature he had not yet obtained was the durability of the item/weapon that is durabillity.

It emits a silvery light with a small new mark on its upper left side. Then when touching the left hand or commonly called left appears a small shield-shaped icon.

Ryan also tapped it again slowly, then appeared the panel with a picture of the wooden shield. There is an explanation of the wooden shield, he can read it because he learned B. England is pretty good.

Then at the bottom there is an additional status, this status is what adds Psy Def.

While the name color of this shield is colored ash. This means that the shield level is at level 1, namely Inferiority. There was no additional Ability from that shield, only adding some statuses with not-so-significant numbers.

After that Ryan touched the panel again so that the panel disappeared again.

But out of nowhere an attack hit his stomach until he crashed far enough. Again the HP bar is reduced and now light yellow. Fortunately it has not been red, if red means that Ryan's HP bar has been on the verge of death.

"Ughhh. I forgot that I had to defeat about five Wild Rabbits, but didn't I just beat three?”

After his gaze returned to normal, he got up while on standby using his left arm which had been attached by a wooden shield.

Two Wild Rabbits had prepared to attack Ryan back, but something was strange. They growled and caressed each other's own bodies. Eventually, their bodies fused together and looked bigger.

Ryan was shocked then he scanned the new monster closely...

“Big Rabbit Lv.5?!. hahaha. Monsters this time are not playing, it seems that the level is also much different from my level which is at level 1.”

The monster was three times larger with its bright red eyes. A horn that Ryan had seen small now seemed to turn into a blade that was about 30cm long.

The monster's legs also grew bigger and longer, now he saw Ryan who was preparing to attack. Both arms were broken down and steam came out of his mouth. At first Ryan looked nervous and was shocked.

How not? The two monsters united are very rare in an MMORPG game. Especially a fantasy like this. When it comes to one of the rare races it might be possible. Especially the Dragon race.

However, in this Monster with the Beast race, it is very rare to find a scene like this.

“So this kind of world you want to show me, Elesis.”

Ryan is interested, but he still does not deny to hate MMORPG type games like this. The monster started to shake its right leg while roaring loudly.

WHROARR !!!!!!

Then he jumped quickly towards Ryan who was in a defensive position using his wooden shield. One hit he could not avoid because it was too fast, Ryan finally crashed far enough and hit a tree.

Although this is a game, a game ... a game, but the feeling is really real. Not only the pain is even sensation, sight, taste and touch. Ryan really felt it.

His HP bar had now been reduced quite drastically to become flushed. In such a situation all he needed was a healing potion called Healing Potion. But does he have it?

“Ah! Candy made in Lesta.”

Ryan immediately reached into the left pocket of his black shirt. He quickly picked up the two candies and opened the package and ate them quickly.

Then a green light appeared from the bottom up. As it enveloped his body, when he saw his HP bar again, he was quite grateful that now his HP bar had become a bright yellow.

Although it only gives a little HP, but it is more than enough if it will fight the Big Rabbit. Big Rabbit again took a swing to attack, his legs were swiping the ground.

The chocolate dust flew as the monster swiped its feet to the ground. Then he jumped by pointing the blade-shaped horn towards Ryan quickly. Although it was only a few seconds, but Ryan was able to avoid it by rolling to the side.

Then Ryan's body moved. A hard kick hit the Big Rabbit's leg, as a result he groaned in pain and fell down.

“Whoaa... so this is the function of Counter Attack's passive ability.”

Ryan who did not expect that his body moved by itself and directly attacked the Big Rabbit was still dumbfounded. But, he soon got rid of it. He immediately ran towards the Big Rabbit, because his condition is now in a supine state.

Ryan also took advantage of this opportunity by providing a quick attack that might drain his HP.

“Hmm... It seems worth trying even though I have never tried it. Time to wrestle,” he said while putting on a nosy look.

A elbow floated from above and directly hit the huge belly of the Big Rabbit that was lying on its back. The Big Rabbit again groaned in pain, somehow Ryan seemed to experience a miracle when attacking him.

His body floated back up because of Big Rabbit's elastic stomach. Thanks to his elastic stomach, Ryan floats in the air. He was thinking of carrying out an attack from the air at that moment.

He immediately dropped his own body firmly and then threw a very hard heel kick right into the face of Big Rabbit. The monster came back in pain with a virtual scar-like scar on its face, hitting its nose and breaking its blade horn to the ground.

Big Rabbit's HP bar is now a blackish yellow. Some more rapid attacks or arranged attacks will make it collapse and then crumble into virtual data. However, a red aura that did not seem to be good news was now flowing throughout the Big Rabbit's body.

He got up and spread out his two soft hands quickly. Three claws came straight out of his right and left hand. Very long and seems sharp when viewed from the very small end.

Ryan gulped his own saliva, now his fight with the Big Rabbit was like a fight against a small Boss. Big Rabbit roared like a tiger, his voice that resembled that of the yell had now become more powerful and released a shock that almost bent Ryan's body backwards.

But fortunately Ryan was able to survive the shock even in a closed state. When he opened his eyes, the Big Rabbit had disappeared. Now Ryan is looking for the existence of the monster with excessive anxiety.

But when he heard a sound of air that was quite great in the sky. Now Ryan's vision slowly focused his point of travel into the sky. I don't know what it is but he could see a free-falling creature stretching out his white hands.

“Y-who's right?! That monster can jump that high?!”

And apparently the creature was a Big Rabbit that was hurtling right towards Ryan. Very quickly even the surface in front of his body was ignited by a fairly hot expanse of fire, almost like a shooting star or maybe even a meteor?

If Ryan is hit by the explosive force or hit from a powerful attack. Already in make sure his HP will run out immediately and he will die. If he dies, he doesn't know where his body will be back in respawn.

Within a few seconds he had to figure out how to escape such an attack in his own panic.

“Come, come on, my brain. You should immediately think before this body ***** of such a crazy attack.”

Not long after, Ryan managed to find a way to survive the attack despite the slim possibility. However, he had to rely on ideas that suddenly appeared in moments of urgency. He immediately ran away from a place that might explode.

Running and running until the specified distance has been successfully achieved. 3 ... 2...1 and be proud!!!

An explosion appears in the middle of Ryan's escape. The explosion was powerful enough to destroy trees within the blast range. One by one the surrounding trees were uprooted, leaving the sound of krekrekkkk like the sound of crisp biscuits being broken slowly.

It was unexpected that the power of the explosion managed to throw Ryan's body that was running. His body was thrown far enough away, now his HP bar was red and seemed to flicker like it was about to run out.

Perhaps with a gentle touch of the Big Rabbit's palm, Ryan would instantly die. Although death is interpreted with a different meaning in this world, the virtual world as well as games created with a certain purpose or an experiment that might change the whole human history.

But nevertheless...

“Ahkkk ... AaaaaAaa. B-b-b-really an incredible power, although it was still level 5, but its power was like more than that. Damnit damnit! My HP is just a little more.”

Now Ryan is in a critical condition, he tries to rise from under the trunk of a tree that has collapsed completely. His body leaning against the trunk had actually sustained heavy injuries. Can be seen from all over his body that many red wounds lit up.

He tried, but failed, and tried again. It was only realized that his endurance status was really influential. He finally used a collapsed log to help him stand up.

The log was not too big but fit perfectly into the arms of Ryan's arms. The end is quite pointed and looks a lot of skin-skin that peeling. With the help of the log, Ryan was finally able to stand.

Suddenly, an idea flashed through his mind.

“Hmmm ... It looks like I'm in luck.”

The Big Rabbit monster was standing in the middle of the chaos he had made himself. Now the fur turns red which was originally white. Ryan took a glimpse of the Big Rabbit from afar, then there was something strange about it.

“Buff!?. and even more so Rage, serious.”

At first Ryan did not panic too much with the situation, but it seemed like the additional status now possessed by the Big Rabbit was already out of bounds. Particularly in Atk, Str, Spd, and Int.

However, there is one weakness of his buff. That is when a person or a person or a creature is exposed to this Buff Rage, he may be given extraordinary power.

And his weakness is his defense, he is very vulnerable to greater attacks with multiple attacks. But he also got the same thing. So this time Ryan just needs to find a gap or a chance to give a very decisive attack whether he can still survive or he prefers to die and be respawned in a place that has not he knows.

The Big Rabbit looked at Ryan in anger. The steam billowed all over his body, his red feathers as if lifted by the force of gravity turning to zero. He also approached Ryan who was standing upright even though his knees were shaking.

It was very real, the effect of both knees shaking at a glance blurred Ryan's gaze. Now in his vision was like a flickering lamp.

“Huh hahh huh hahhh ... Troublesome g-Games.”

The sound of a jolt rang out from the direction of the Big Rabbit. Apparently he was in a state of rush.His body flew and floated rapidly towards Ryan. It seemed that his ideas and condition did not proceed according to the will of his brain's orders.

However, when Ryan caught a glimpse of his wooden shield, he smiled cunningly.

Whoaghhhhhhh !!!!!

Ryan nimbly threw the wooden shield directly towards the face—rightly towards the eyes of Big Rabbit.  The shield broke into pieces and disappeared into the game system. It seemed that the Durabillity of the wooden shield had been exhausted.

Now the Big Rabbit that was darting toward Ryan lost both eyesight. His body, which was in a state of instability because it could not stop itself, had to be forced to keep darting towards Ryan.

Although in his dark eyes, he could still feel Ryan's presence with his hearing. Ryan's form is very clearly visible, without a doubt his two hands that have issued sharp claws began to swing towards Ryan was—

“Checkmate.. goodbye my big rabbit.”.

Ryan immediately lifted the log that was on the edge. He raised it using both hands. With a sharpened spik— section on its front, it allows Ryan to use abilities such as Spear weapons.

And sure enough because the Big Rabbit's body could not be controlled anymore, now his body had to feel a sharp stab that was very heartbreaking. It penetrated his big belly and made a deep hole.

The Big Rabbit's face was now pale, his countenance disbelieving. He also raised his right hand to launch a final attack even with his stomach condition being pierced by a sharp log.

When the Big Rabbit's arm almost reached Ryan's face and it might just give him a cut. However, now Ryan's face smiled at an absolute victory. The injuries he got were not healed because he had not eaten the candy wrapper made by Lesta.
