"Ggrr!"
Suddenly the 5 Skeleton Mercenaries appeared, making Weed's heart race three times faster. His eyes looked at them miserably. All this time he had never fought more than these 3 monsters at once. No matter how good the battle skill was right now, it was still difficult to fight 5 Skeleton Mercenaries at once.
When in battle Weed would definitely open the blame until the enemy launched a deadly attack. And too busy to use first aid on yourself until the fight is over. So this fight is categorized as difficult and dangerous. Weed's eyebrow angle was firm, he was preparing to escape. 'There's no other way, I have-'
"Light of courage from the past, give this hero the strength to fight his enemy! Power Up!"
Weed looked back, where Dain was raising his right hand, and casting his spell.
Swush!
A cold wind seeped spread into Weed's veins. His body gave off a dazzling light to the eyes. Simultaneously, Weed felt all of his energy being fully charged. His strength had even increased by nearly 100 points.
Dain raises both hands as if waiting for a hug, "O wind spirit, defeat the enemy with your sincerity! The light will lead you to the right path! Up Spirit!"
Weed's Strength and Agility increased rapidly instantly. His body was slightly raised, he felt as light as a feather.
"Yyaz!" When running towards the enemy, when it only took a few steps but Weed's speed was like running.
"You are destined to bring death! The blood and destruction of this war will be your home! The bloodlust!"
Dain's assortment of spells increased Weed's stats all the way to the top. Now Weed could easily defeat more than 5 Skeleton Mercenaries at once.
Weed was not stopped from being surprised by the incredible power Dain was exerting. Not only did he bully Weed, he also took the time to curse the enemy. Instantly the enemy was directly hit by stun. They were also no longer able to heal the wounds that flowed blood profusely. The longer they lose the spirit to fight.
Weed was a little unfocused on attacking the monsters from being too surprised by the power of his new partner, 'There is no way a Shaman's magic can be this powerful!'
The longer Weed thought, the more he was sure there was something he had missed. He could not understand where this mistake had begun.
In a short time they managed to defeat the Skeleton Mercenary earlier as if they were patting a mosquito.
Weed's hand picked up the drop of the item he dropped as fast as lightning. Then he ran towards Dain. "Your magic is too amazing for a level 134 player. How could it be this strong? If I don't understand the reason, we can't be on the same team anymore." Weed's voice rang and stirred. It doesn't matter if the opponent being spoken to will be offended.
Dain's smile developed seeing Weed who was still bored from being too eager to ask, "Because this is my hobby."
Weed's eyes squinted, seemingly not believing it, "Hobi?"
"Yes, please don't think I'm crazy. I don't like killing monsters. I'm just-just-" Dain looks embarrassed to continue his words. Moreover, it was stared intensely by Weed who looked like he would die of curiosity if he did not immediately satisfy his curiosity.
Dain was a little comforted to forget his nervousness, he sat back down, almost laughing as Weed sat nearby still with a cute look, "I used a curse on a monster, holy magic, sometimes if I'm lazy I only issue long-range attacks to attack them. Then I'll use the blessing because they lack a lot of HP."
"On monsters?" Weed began to feel negative airs.
"Yes, I play like that."
"Crazy!" Weed looked in amazement. He played around as well as toying with the undead inhabiting this dungeon. After cursing and attacking the enemies to death, he casually healed them back. Crazy mentions alone are not enough for a cute girl like her. Weed didn't expect to find someone as unique as him. Right, this world is vast.
Dain has level 134 but his magic is very powerful. The blessing spell from him had greatly increased Weed's ability. At the same time it weakens the monsters. It was as if he had put wings on Weed. What an amazing thing, so naturally Weed was more fascinated by it.
With a small smile, Weed looked forward to their cooperation in the future. Surely the number of monsters they defeated would be overwhelming. But Dain had his own principles, he did not kill monsters. This was not a problem for Weed, as he could improve his swordmanship skills when Dain did not attack.
Weed shook his head a few times, No! I can't trust a stranger I just met in a dangerous place like this.'
Undeniably, Weed's heart fidgeted that Dain might betray him one day. Although he was very suspicious, Weed was still focused on listening to Dain's story when he first set foot in Lavias.
As Weed had experienced, the girl had also experienced some similar things. After spending some time in Heaven City, he knew many things about Lavias and her weaknesses. According to him, he went to the dungeon coinciding with Weed's team's arrival to Lavias.
'A very unbelievable story.' Thought Weed.
Although the facts say according to Dain's story. This was one of the reasons why he had never crossed paths with Weed's team in Lavias, meaning that it was true that he had been living in a dungeon all along. 'Even so, it was not reason enough to believe everything he said.' Weed still refused to believe it.
"What if we change hunting grounds? I happen to know about some new dungeons, even though I haven't been there yet." According to Da'in's investigation, in Lavias there are at least 8 unspoiled dungeons.
'Is this a trap?' But Weed kept the question tight, "New Dungeon? You mean no one's ever entered it, right?"
"Yes." Yeah."
Weed tilted his head looking confused. "I don't understand."
Da'in was one of the first team members to enter the City of Heaven. Then there is a dungeon that they have not visited yet? That's very hard to believe.
Dain still thought Weed's full face was cute, "There's no particular reason, because everyone besides me, has a level of over 200."
The longer Weed grew more suspicious of Dain's gelagat. Though the master just sat back and looked at the depths of the river. "Ahhhh! You mean they don't want to bother exploring low-level dungeons! Even so, I can't figure out how it is possible for someone to deliberately ignore a dungeon."
There are many advantages when finding a new dungeon. The only thing that can not be ignored is the fame that increased drastically. The best items will be obtained, this will provide many advantages. Even if the level of a player was very high, if there were decent hunting grounds, who would ignore this. 'Dain was hiding something about what his team was doing.'
If he insisted then Weed could be even more stubborn, "I won't leave here until you explain everything to me."
Dain's face looked sad, "Sorry. I still can't tell you anything about them."
"Is that a secret?"
"Yes, I promise not to say anything to anyone. I know it's hard, but I'm telling the truth. I beg you to believe."
Weed decided to end his stubbornness. There was nothing he could do to convince Dain to reveal the secret.
Weak-looking words have a higher chance of becoming truth. Plus, they had just left the Cave of Dead Warriors dungeon to explore new dungeons. So at least Da'in was honest about it.
Mirroring Tower!
The Secret Area of Pan Lake!
The Baravall Coal Mine!
Segmail Vista!
Gaet Altar's!
Nest's Parrot!
Ruins Barlog!
The Sealed Cave of Margres the Destroyer!
Sure enough, when Weed and Dain arrived at these dungeons it turned out to be untouched. They were the first ones to find him, Weed was a bit of a joy.
These places were very far from the City of Heaven.
Mirkan Tower, a place that looks majestic and towering through the clouds. There they spent time hunting flying monsters. Weed had Archery as a ranged attack skill, so there was no need to bother envying Dain. The more sharpened, the skill increased. As expected of a Weed, he was able to inflict great damage.
Not far from the tower there is a special fur seller for 10 gold. A player could use the item to fly for an entire month.
Weed and Dain slowly became a solid team exploring dungeons one to another. From Mirkan Tower, Secret Area of Pan Lake, Baravall and Coal Mine. They received many benefits for being the first to visit the dungeon. Slowly Weed had lowered his guard on Dain. But they still rarely chatted, still the same as the first time they met, stiff.
In Balrog Ruins, Gaet Altar and Segmail Vista, the weakest monsters were Death Knights. Weed was there to defeat the enemy he had feared the most. The place looks bleak and untouched. No one dared to enter that dangerous area, not even the place was sealed tightly. Nevertheless, Weed made rapid progress thanks to Dain's help. He also got EXP and dropped rare items by an incredible amount.
How could he still radiate an aura of hostility at the person who had helped his development so much.
Now Weed was faced with joy, 'Finally now I can cook it.' His eyes focused on two lobsters.
Beside his right, there was Dain who was staring at the lobster while gulping a few times.
Weed's Cooking Skill was already 99% to reach the 10th level of the beginner stage, so he deliberately chose a special dish for the last 1. The best cuisine of the Beginner Cooking Skill that can be served is seafood, which is a famous lobster delicacy!
Of course, in real life Lee Hyun had never eaten a lobster in his entire life. The problem is of course because of the outrageous price. One of the reasons he was so diligent in practicing cooking skills was, so that he could taste this kind of food.
The lobsters thrashed, but they were no opponent to Weed's cold gaze. In the end, they could only subdue their antennae in defeat. However, Weed was not trying to stare them to death, he was trying to visualize the expensive lobster meat.
Weed's hands shook. Even in the game, lobsters are very rare and expensive. In Lavias they can be bought at a hefty price, 1 gold per tail. If he hadn't explored many new dungeons with a drop rate double, he would have never considered buying this expensive animal.
Weed's hand moved like lightning, as he grabbed the lobster's head with his left hand and used the Zahab Sculpting Knife in his right hand to cut them from head to tail.
The lobster's body was split in two, Weed quickly cleaned the dirt in their bodies, not forgetting to remove the eggs. Then deftly start frying it in hot oil, along with pre-prepared sauces and spices.
Before long steam cooking raffle. The aroma of his cooking made Dain's stomach growl several times. The lobster was cooked perfectly.
Finally, the lobster dish is ready.

Weed's desire to achieve Intermediate-stage cooking skills had finally come true. Likewise with the stat bonus produces satisfactory results. Usually, to increase magic resistance required equipment that was quite expensive, but he could raise his magic resistance only through cooking skills.
"Wow that looks delicious." Dain could not hold back his patience any further, he immediately rolled up his sleeves, instantly eating a dish from Weed.
Along with him, Weed ate his share.
After being full, they went back to hunting the monsters in the dungeon next. The position remained the same, Dain supported from behind, then Weed would become the front-runner. The two people dominated the dungeon quickly.
Dain tried hard to fulfill his duty to defy Weed and anoint him with a spell. Until Weed had no regrets about forming a party with him.
But, one thing still stuck in Weed's heart. The longer he knew Dain the more he was surprised by what he had. She looks like a mysterious girl that is hard to find.
When looking at the monster, then several times giving a curse, his eyes looked very sad and like holding a weight as heavy as an everest mountain. In addition, he felt that this girl was the same as him when it came to money. He was very meticulous with money or drop items. Every time Weed tried to gain more, Dain immediately realized that and rebuked him blatantly.
At one point, while they were near the dungeon of the Secret Area of Pan Lake, they found a blooming herb plant. There Dain crouched down without hesitation then dug the ground to pick up the herbs. Weed looked at him in amazement as if he were glazed.
It is an instinct to survive in a harsh world!
Sometimes, Dain would write a poem casually while waiting for Weed's cooking to be ready. He also did not hesitate to let out his unique melodious voice within the silence of the forest.
"All my love is gone (Go-o-o-o-o-o-o-one)."
"All my love is gone, gone, gone, gone (Go-o-o-o-o-o-o-one)."
"All my love is gone (Go-o-o-o-o-o-o-one)."
"All my love is gone."
"Now you’re dead and gone."
"All my love is gone and the hate is gone."
"I'm standing all alone."
The melodious sound was more melodious when accompanied by the sound of a bonfire roasting meat. Or even the sound of birds chirping as if they do not want to miss with their carefree events.
Thanks to that, Weed's heart was never gloomy. He happily enjoyed the surprise after surprise that Dain showed. Unknowingly a small smile always rose from his mouth. 'Never thought it would be this much fun when hunting in a party.'
No one visited Lavias anymore. So here it feels peaceful and serene.
His old comrades never stayed to give Weed any news. Pale told him about those who had settled down somewhere hunting near the Citadel of Serabourg. Surka tells about their hunting story up to ***** its whimpering. Irene was looking forward to her return. And it was Romuna who missed her existence in the party. The point is that currently they are still taking care of their parents, it will be difficult to leave them alone.
So all this time, Weed had spent a lot of time together with Dain. As a bonus that she was the ideal girl Weed dreamed of.
It was undeniable that Weed was a normal man. It would be a lie if Weed had never been interested in Dain. He even glanced at the girl a few times silently.
The sensitive Dain of course knows that. He often looks back and smiles sweetly at her. He also enjoyed Weed's face flushed red from misbehavior. When Weed looked away, Dain's smile faded, looking very sad at the thought of something he could not express.
However, he would smile again while hunting with Weed. It was undeniable, not only was Weed happy here, but so was he.
One day, Weed began to venture out to talk lightly with him like a friend, and he began to open up to him, "Um. Do you want to keep hunting with me in the future?"
Dain was silent for a moment, his forehead frowning as if pain all over the world was pressing down on his shoulders. After a moment of silence, he looked at Weed's face sternly, "Sorry Weed."
"What do you mean?"
"I used to make the wrong decision. I thought no one loved me. I can't trust anyone."
Weed examined the opponent's expression, and there were no lies there, "Does this have anything to do with the reason you were left alone in Lavias?"
And looking down deeply, "It's hard to explain the whole story, but yeah, it's a little related." He raised his face and smiled sincerely, "By the way, I feel my spirit is increasing when I spend time with you, Weed. Maybe, I found my confidence once again."
"Then?" Weed was a little frustrated.
Wouldn't it be great news if spending time with her had helped Dain regain his courage. Why did the girl choose to leave him. After all, Weed felt he had been taken advantage of.
No one likes to be used!
Doain looked regretful, "I didn't mean it that way. After meeting you, I felt like I could survive."
"Don't tell me you-" Weed smothered his mouth unable to continue the words.
"Yes, I'm very sick. Although I could have surgery, it doesn't make sure it makes me better. All this time, I deliberately delayed the operation, but now it's time to take that chance."
Weed looked at Dain with various expressions. "..."- ".
This is what Dain did not want, looked at with compassion by those closest to him. Hence all this time he had always refrained from revealing this truth. He felt his heart ache if it were to be stared at by Weed like this.
Dain let out a long breath, "Please don't look at me like that. I'll be fine. Fate and chance are only thinly different, sometimes it is difficult to distinguish between the two. I don't want our meeting to be a mere coincidence. I believe destiny brought us together. Believe me, one day we will meet again. I really wish I could see you again."
After saying this sad farewell, Dain logged out. Leaving Weed alone who was daydreaming of his departure.
The absence of Dain beside him made Weed feel completely hollow. His heart also felt throbbing. It is undeniable that they have spent a lot of time together. This was because Weed initially suspected him too much, to the point of overseeing him.
He did not expect the girl who had a sweet smile was hiding the pain. Because he always seemed busy hunting with her. No different from Weed who was too busy to realize that. They hunted even more seriously and more intensely than when he was with Pale and the others who were classified as still relaxed.
For more than a month, they only spoke if it was really necessary. The rest is spent hunting. Weed squeezed his hair feeling frustrated as well as regretting everything.
' What if Dain never comes back.' Weed took a deep breath trying to shake the bad thoughts that were crawling his mind.
"If my worries really happened, then there would not be many people who would remember his presence. All this time he was in Lavias alone and no one came to pick him up. I think this is why he spent his time cursing and healing monsters."
The solitude and fear of death can only be understood by those who have experienced it.
