*Thud.... The Troll Commander stopped behind Pedro. *Grrruuuurrrrr... The Troll Commander shouted to Pedro's back like an angry T-rex.. Then, It slowly raised its wooden club... (wooden club is a weapon that looked like a base ball bat.)
[Opening treasure chest completed!]
'At last!' Pedro took all the items found inside the treasure chest and placed it in his inventory.
*Baaaaaag!!!! The wooded club the Troll Commander raised earlier, smashed the ground and made rocks flying everywhere.
*Grr???? All the Trolls, including the commander, was shocked to the point that their eyes were about to pop out of their sockets.

Pedro's mouth went agape after seeing the consecutive texts that appeared in front of him. The wooden club hit his head and slides to the ground because of impact. He expected to receive a damage and the ~Undying~ skill to activate. Upon activation of the ~Undying~ skill, he planned to ran and escape. To his surprise, the Potion Injector activated, instantly using an Intermediate Potion and healed him with 50 HP which was coincidentally his currently max HP at level 1! This made ~Undying~ skill to reset and be available again!
'As long as I am level 1 and had tons of Intermediate Potion, I am an Immortal?!' Pedro finally got back from his shock and became excited after realizing that he did not need to leave the second treasure chest.
'wait... The Intermediate Potion has a cool down of two seconds.. I should check the attack interval of the trolls...' Pedro realized that other than running out of Intermediate Potion, If the interval between each attack of the enemy is shorter than 2 seconds, he would no be able to heal up his HP and he would die to the next attack of the enemy. He looked at the Trolls behind him and details about them appeared in the interface

"Phew.. that is a breather.." Pedro relaxed upon learning that in the face of this trolls, he is an immortal being unless he ran out of Intermediate Potions. Before he could fully relax, the troll commander hit him again, but to no avail.

The same repetitive texts appeared. He looked back to the trolls and smiled.. The troll commander became more angry, and started to bash Pedro with his wooden club.. When Pedro looked back to the second treasure chest he immediately opened it..
[Gold-rated treasure chest detected..]
[You don't have a key to the treasure chest! would you like to forcefully open the chest? Yes or No?]
"Yes!" Again, he felt something in his hands and saw a blue aura going out of his hands to the treasure chest. Pedro stood, not even glancing to the troll commander on his back who is smashing him repeatedly.
[Please don't move! Opening treasure chest on going! 1%]
*Grrrurrrr!! The troll commander kept smashing the wooden club into Pedro every 3.5 seconds. The ordinary trolls did not dare to go near and hit Pedro because they were terrified of the troll commander who's anger just kept increasing as time pass by.
.... after a minute, almost half of the Intermediate Potion in his inventory was consumed...
[Please don't move! Opening treasure chest on going! 95%]
[Opening treasure chest completed!]
The treasure chest opened up its cover. Pedro immediately snatched all the items inside the treasure chest and stored them in his inventory..
'I must escape now! I only have 18 Intermediate Potions left! I won't last long if I stayed any longer!' Pedro took advantage of the space the trolls gave to their commander as it entered the tent and activated ~Scout 1~. After arriving outside the tent, He swiftly ran towards the direction of the ambush site.
"I did not receive the System notification about the completion of the side quest yet.. Could it be?! No.. that is impossible, if the two women was killed, the system would notify the failure of the quest.. Let's check the details of the side quest.." Pedro opened his interface and check the quest information.
[Quest: Rescue! Rescue!

Mission: Rescue the village chief's wife and daughter from the trolls and escape with out dying.
Duration: 3 minutes left]
"Great!! The village army should already be in the ambush site! I can make it on time! I just hope that the two women were already there!" Pedro occasionally looked back and saw that the trolls were still chasing him, but the gap was too far. Thanks to the temporary vision increase of ~Scout 1~ skill that he can barely see the trolls.
...
"Haa.. Haaah... Haaaa.." Pedro leaned his shoulder to a nearby tree, Trying to catch his breath after running full speed away from the troll.
"Who are you?!" A soldier raised his shield to the front and held his sword prepared to strike back..
"Hold on brother.. Haaa... haaaa... I am... haaa... a scout.. sent.. by... the.. village chief... Antonio Kagat!" Pedro raised his hand as if trying to stop the soldier. The soldier still kept his guard despite Pedro explaining. Other than the village chief, his wife and daughter, there should be no other civilian around that area, that is why the soldier was still suspicious of him.
Suddenly, Someone was walking to their direction and stopped the soldier.
"It is ok! I know him!" Antonio hold the soldier's shoulder and pointed to the back of Pedro. "Go tell captain to quickly assemble the infantry there, He is a scout and must be returning after being chased trolls. There is a high chance that the trolls will arrive sooner! so, hurry!"
The soldier quickly left and told the captain about what Antonio told. The Captain immediately commanded the soldiers who were scattered to patrol, to go in formation where the village chief pointed. The infantry soldiers made a spear tip looking formation, while the archer soldiers on their back ready to shoot their arrows.
"I'm glad you're fine! Let's go near Captain Aks! It is safer there!" Pedro followed behind Antonio as the village chief pointed towards the center of the archer soldiers. He spotted the two women that is being treated by the medical soldiers near Captain Aks.
"No words can express how grateful I am, young adventurer! You saved my wife and my one and only daughter! I have not forgot my promise to you! when we return to the village, go to my office, I will give you the reward I promised! For now.. Let us kill those b@s@@rds who dare kidnap my family and kill our troops!" Pedro was full of happiness upon hearing about the reward..

A series of notification appeared that shocked Pedro and made him slightly jumped.
"hmm.. I am just playing for 2 hours, and I feel too tired! Atleast, I got my self a new skill and a ton of rewards!" Pedro scratched his chin and smiled after checking the time in his interface. (The time ratio is 1:2, 1 hour in real life is equivalent to 2 hours in game. The time that can be viewed in Pedro's interface is the "in game time" to avoid confusion)
Just as he was about to check the items he got. The trolls has finally appeared on their sight.
"Readyyy!" Captain Aks shouted, waiting for the right moment to charge.
"Chaaaargeee!" Captain Aks shouted, The infantry soldiers rushed forward to the trolls.
