"..."

Dawn City, Mission Hall.

As the busiest area in the main city, it is always crowded with adventurers seeking opportunities.

"Looking to team up to hunt wild boars! Need a healer!"

"Buying wolf pelts at high prices! As many as you have, I'll take them!"

Amidst the clamor, a figure slowly walked in.

The once noisy hall fell into an eerie silence the moment that person entered, as if a mute button had been pressed.

Immediately afterwards, countless burning gazes, like magnets attracting iron filings, converged on it.

There stood a beautiful young girl, dressed in a tattered beginner's robe torn in the battle, revealing a glimpse of her fair, alabaster-white skin.

With her deep-set collarbones and slender waist, the poignant beauty of her battle-worn figure was more captivating than any glamorous fashion.

Especially her face, with features so exquisite that there was no flaw, but her peach blossom eyes revealed a cold indifference that kept people at a distance.

He held a long katana in one hand.

Stunningly beautiful, aloof, and violent.

These three distinct qualities blend perfectly within her.

"Holy crap... this game's character creation system can produce characters this well?"

"Bullshit, that's what she looks like in real life without makeup. This game character is 90% accurate!"

"Which guild's goddess is this? I've never seen her before."

"Wait, this looks familiar."

"Now that you mention it, it does seem to be true..."

"It seems to be... the Goddess of Chicken Killing?"

"Damn, that stupid beauty who only knows how to kill chickens has actually come to Dawn City?"

The male players around them stared wide-eyed, and many were itching to go up and strike up a conversation.

But when Su Yu's cold gaze swept over them, those people seemed to have been doused with cold water and subconsciously shrank back.

Su Yu lowered his eyes, feeling somewhat helpless.

He glanced at his simple clothes; it wasn't really his intention, it was just...

Wearing defensive gear will slow down his health loss, thus reducing the rate of damage increase.

But it doesn't seem appropriate to keep wearing these beginner clothes; I need to find a way to get some fashionable clothes to wear.

However, his simple clothes were seen as a kind of "special charm" by others.

Su Yu ignored the gazes around him and walked straight to the task posting board.

"I need to hurry up and level up to level 7 so I'll have a better chance of clearing the area tomorrow."

His gaze quickly swept over the low-level tasks and finally settled on a red bounty poster.

[Bounty: Clear the Misty Forest (Solo/Hard)]

The difficulty of the mission is divided into four levels: Normal, Hard, Nightmare, and Hell.

However, with equipment being scarce and most players only taking on normal quests, the highest level they can reach is currently the hard level.

[Description: Wolves have recently become rampant in the Misty Forest outside the city, seriously threatening the safety of trade routes. Please go and eliminate 50 "Mist Demon Wolves".]

Recommended level: Lv.5-Lv.7

Rewards: 500 experience points, 80 gold coins.

"This is it."

Su Yu reached out and took off the mission order.

Many players gasped upon seeing this.

"She accepted a quest in the Misty Forest? That's a notoriously high-attack monster zone!"

"Going alone? That's incredibly risky; the wolves there can stealthily move!"

Su Yu ignored him and turned to leave the hall.

"..."

Outside Dawn City, in the misty forest.

The forest was shrouded in a thick white fog for a long time, with extremely low visibility. The air was filled with the damp smell of decaying leaves, and the occasional mournful howl of wolves could be heard.

Su Yu carried his knife as he walked on the ground covered with fallen leaves.

"With 50 wolves and the high experience gain from the monsters here, I should be able to level up after clearing them all."

After a moment's thought, just as he was about to venture deeper into the forest to search for the wolf pack.

brush--!

A cold, eerie blue light suddenly flashed through the mist not far ahead.

Followed by.

"Awooo—"

A short, painful scream rang out.

A mist wolf that had just peeked out from the grass hadn't even had a chance to attack when a line of blood spurted from its neck and it collapsed to the ground.

Beside the wolf's carcass, a tall, slender figure gradually came into view.

The man was dressed in a black, tight-fitting night suit, with a half-mask covering his face, revealing only his eyes.

His movements were extremely fast, like a ghost weaving through the mist.

Su Yu raised an eyebrow. This is... an assassin?

There are no assassins among the regular professions, so it seems to be a hidden rare profession.

However, Su Yu soon noticed the dagger being held in reverse in the other person's hand.

The dagger was entirely black, but its blade glowed with an eerie, ghostly blue light, making it stand out starkly in the dim forest.

He paused, his eyes narrowing slightly.

This light... why does it look so familiar?

I took a closer look.

【Shadow Dagger (Blue Exquisite)】

"Oh."

Su Yu couldn't help but curl the corners of his lips into a smile.

Isn't this the dagger he just sold at the auction?

I didn't expect the buyer to act so quickly; it's already equipped.

Su Yu glanced at the ID above the assassin's head again.

Dragon King

Lv.6 Shadow Assassin (Hidden Class)

"So it was him."

Su Yu understood.

This is the person ranked third on the combat power list.

It seems that Lin Qingyue, that wealthy woman, bought the dagger at the auction in a flash, just to win over this person.

Otherwise, given Lin Qingyue's personality, she wouldn't have bought it and given it away for no reason.

"He's quick enough; it seems this dagger really suits him."

Watching the Dragon King's fluid backstab and throat-slitting movements, Su Yu had to admit that with this agility-enhancing dagger, the assassin's output efficiency had indeed improved significantly.

Just as Su Yu was observing the other party.

The Dragon King in the distance seemed to have noticed the gaze from behind.

He turned around, holding the dagger horizontally in front of his chest, his eyes wary.

When they saw Su Yu emerge from the mist, a hint of obvious amazement flashed in their originally cold and sharp eyes.

no way.

Su Yu's current appearance is incredibly eye-catching in the dim forest.

Damaged battle armor, stunningly beautiful face, and that exaggeratedly long katana.

"What a beautiful woman..."

The Dragon King secretly praised him.

He had seen many beautiful women in the game, including the aloof Lin Qingyue, but the girl in front of him gave him a completely different feeling.

A feeling that is both dangerous and alluring.

However, as a proud and skilled player, the Dragon King did not lose his composure like ordinary players.

He merely glanced coldly at Su Yu, and seeing that the other party had no intention of stealing the monster, he withdrew his gaze.

brush!

The Dragon King's figure flickered, and he activated the assassin's [Stealth] skill again. His figure gradually faded and disappeared into the depths of the mist.

"Tsk, invisibility is really useful."

Su Yu looked in the direction where the other person disappeared and clicked his tongue with a hint of envy.

"Unlike me, all I know is chopping and hacking."

"I need to work harder too."

Su Yu withdrew his gaze and gripped the katana in his hand tightly.

That Dragon King already had half the experience of Lv.6. Although I was also Lv.6, my experience bar was still short because I hadn't accepted any quests before.

"start!"

"For tomorrow's 500 million... oh no, for the guild's honor!"

Su Yu let out a low shout, activated [Berserk], and charged towards a group of mist wolves not far away.

boom! boom! boom!

The once tranquil misty forest was instantly shattered by a series of violent impacts.

A massacre more efficient and brutal than any assassination attempt has begun.
