Chapter 55 55 Quest

"Look over there" the girl pointed behind Alex and he turned around but nothing was there, he faced the girl and sighed weakly, the girl had already disappeared from the alley.

'Cheap trick' Alex mumbled and looked at his chest, once again the mark was gone.

He quickly took his cloth and his leather armor and wore them on before anyone would find him, he was in an alley and this was the perfect place for PvP.

He placed his mask and his cloak in his inventory, he was in a city so it would be suspicious to walk around with a mask.

Alex walked out of the alley and got back on the streets, but he still couldn't get his mind off the strange mark on his chest, he found a good spot and sat down.

'The lady in the dungeon called me a chosen one when she saw the mark, does the mark signify something important, and how did this female assassin know about the mark'

'I'm making a big deal out of this, I need to get my mind off this... Gabriel and Max said we should meet...but we didn't pick a location'

'I should head to the merchant shop, I might find them there' Alex mumbled as he stood up from where he was.

Across the street, a girl was staring at him and her eyes met with Alex, she quickly faced away and giggled softly.

"What's wrong with her" Alex muttered and looked at the information hovering over her head.

[Sofia]

[Level 30]

'Might be a noble given her dressing, what if she has a quest for me'

Alex wanted to talk to her but he remembered that he still haven't completed his last quest so he walked away from her.

It was daytime so the city was still brimming with life as different people walked through the streets, Alex looked around carefully as he walked towards the merchant shop, he didn't want to run into Lara as he did earlier.

Alex finally reached the market Street, the street was still busy as players were still buying and selling items all around.

Alex squeezed himself once again till he reached the merchant's shop, he stood outside and looked around, there were too many people with names hovering over their heads so Alex couldn't spot Gabriel.

'I have over 17,000 coins, I can buy anything I want, I should get new clothes, I ripped this one when I was running from Lara's bodyguard and I should allocate my skill points'

'I currently have 55 skill points and my strength is my lowest stat, so I'll increase my...'

"Alex..." a voice said in front of him.

Alex raised his head and saw Gabriel and Max in front of him, he wasn't surprised that he found them here.

"Y-Your level...what happened?" Gabriel quickly asked as he saw Alex's information hovering over his head.

"Ohh, I cleared a dungeon, so I was given a bunch of XP," Alex said.

"You cleared a dungeon, how were you able to clear a dungeon, how did you defeat the dungeon boss?" Max asked.

"How are beast defeated, I fought it and I won" Alex lied, he couldn't tell them about the mark or what happened because even he didn't understand what happened.

"Wow, that's really good, what reward were you given apart from the XP, how many coins were you given, what weapon did you find?" Max asked question after question.

"How many of you survived?" Gabriel asked before Alex could answer Max's questions.

"I got XP and coins and a title that increases my stats for a week...and I was the only one that survived" Alex answered.

"The beast Slayer title, so that's what it does hmmm...but how come you survived?" Max asked.

"The boss was really tough, so we fought as a group, the boss killed the rest of them and I dealt the final blow from behind, that's all" Alex spoke.

"Then we should visit the other dungeon, there's another dungeon in the mountains, we wanted to go but we wanted good equipment first," Gabriel said.

"Dungeons are not easy, 100 players went into a dungeon and I was the only one that survived, 99 of them died, I'm going to stay away from dungeons for now till I get better equipment," Alex said to them.

"You are right, we should do something else," Max said.

"What do you suggest?" Gabriel asked.

"Yes...I have a quest that we can do together, an alchemist offered me a quest to retrieve an ingredient, he would offer me 1000 coins for each one" Alex told them.

Gabriel's eyes widened immediately, "what are we waiting for"

"1000 coins for each one, what ingredient are we looking for?" Max asked.

"Leaves of the moonlight plant" Alex replied.

"That would be difficult given the reward, I don't think it's a good idea," Max said.

"Yeah...I thought that too, that's why I didn't go yet, but the quest has a time limit of one week, so within the week we should gather powerful equipment, and then when we finally go, we would return with thousands of the leaves" Alex explained.

"Good idea, I need more spells that can deal more damage" Gabriel added.

"Okay then, but we don't have money to buy items, we should go hunting"

"I can lend you some, but you should pay back as soon as you have enough," Alex said and his friends nodded.

The three of them were in front of the merchant shop, so they walked inside, it wasn't the one Alex visited earlier so the Interior was different.

The shop was filled with clothes, weapons, and different equipment, players walked around checking out the shop.

The owner was a slim man with a mustache, he stood behind the counter with an expressionless face as he stare at the players looking through his stuff.
