The «Dire Wolf» attempted to bite at him again, but he was able to evade the attack. His HUD continued to blink, warning him that he would die if he took too much damage. 'Even with this HUD freaking out on me. It won't stop me from trying to take on anything that gets in my way. I will do my best to be the best.. Whether it is to find Death Adder or to catch up in the front-lines. Hestia.. Ivern.. You two have done a lot for me. I am going to show you two that I will make it far and catch up to the both of you.' With that in mind, Facade took a defensive stance and prepared himself to attack the «Dire Wolf», but he had to recover the energy he was missing and waited the «Dire Wolf» out. He wanted to see if the «Dire Wolf» would attack him when he is defenseless.

The «Dire Wolf» attempted to charge at Facade once again, but he was able to evade the attack again. 'That one was a lot closer than last time. My speed is slowing down. I don't even have any heavy armor equipped, but what can I do? I am too slow, but if I continue to fight the Dire Wolf. I should be able to land my sword art, but I need to be careful.' He adjusted his position and took higher land, so he would have an easier time maneuvering his way out of sight. He took a defensive stance and made sure that the «Dire Wolf» did not have better positioning than he did. Facade kept his attention on the «Dire Wolf» and ignored his surroundings, but there were other monsters lurking in the background as well. He kept his focus at the «Dire Wolf» and made sure nothing else would get in his way. He took a deep breath and exhaled and prepared to attack.

Facade was finally able to charge his energy and it was enough to initiate his Sword Art, but without realizing that the «Dire Wolf» had moved towards him. It leaped onto his chest, knocking him off the cliff, causing him to hit the ground against the grass. He laid there on the ground, watching his health slowly fall into the red zone. His HUD now flashing at an alarming rate, but he just laid there smiling up at the sky. 'I guess I am not meant to reach them.. This is just too frustrating.. I need to either give up or do what I can before I die here.' He slowly sat up and plunge his sword into the ground and pulled himself off the ground. He stood up and pulled the blade out of the ground and swung his blade around. 'As if I am going to die here.'

The «Dire Wolf» howled at Facade, but this time he ignored it. His actions were going to his head, but he had to find a way to calm himself down. With so much anger clouding his judgement, he might screw himself over and get himself killed. He was not going to be another name on the monument, he is going to be one of the players that gets everyone out safe and sound. The «Dire Wolf» began charging straight at him, but he was able to avoid the bite and dashed back a few meters, keeping a safe distance away from the «Dire Wolf». "Back off. You are just trying to do what you can to mess me up.." He growled. Facade never knew the hate would also affect him, but it should not and maybe he is just letting his emotions cloud his judgement. He took a deep breath and focused on the «Dire Wolf» and slowly shut his eyes, but immediately opened them when he felt the ground move.

Facade immediately sidesteps beside the «Dire Wolf» and his blade began to glow and slashed the «Dire Wolf» on its side, causing it to fall onto its side. Before it blew up into a thousand polygons, a window appeared before him. The 'Bonus Item' window appeared in front of him, stating that he had received a rare unidentified armor and two crafting materials. He swipes away the menu and read his updated quest log. 'I need to find about two more Dragon Petals and I should be able to finish the quest and take on the next available quest.' He proceeded to leave the forest, but it was going to take him some time to leave the forest, as he is too deep in the forest to have any «Dragon Roses» spawn near him. He found a different path and took that path instead of the original path he took.

Facade took longer to make his way out of the forest and became overly exhausted from all the walking, but he was able to stumble upon the brush that grew «Dragon Petals» and sat down beside it. 'I am losing strength in my body.. If I continue to over work my body like this, what would happen to my body in real life? Would it just convert to mental strength and make me mentally tired? How would that even work?' He sighed and rolled up his sleeves and proceeds to attempt to pick at the «Dragon Rose», but it shattered within the brush. He dropped his arms and the brush also shattered in front of him. The polygons reflect against his sapphire eyes and slowly faded out of existence. He slowly stood up and let out a heavy sigh, as he turned toward the forest. He began to walk toward the exit of the forest, but the path was still a long road to finishing.

Facade continued to make his way out of the forest and there was a ton of player running amok the field. There were many parties attacking the «Frenzy Boars» and were thinning out the population. 'Now this is great.. I do not have to worry about fighting any of those Frenzy Boars, but it also seems like there are players dealing with the same situation I am in. Either that or they are still doing the first quest.' He took a deep breath and sighed, as he made his way towards the next brush. There is one lone brush left and Facade sprinted toward the brush and slid beside the brush. He slowly stuck his hand into the brush and began picking at it until he felt the «Dragon Rose». Facade pulled the rose out and slowly placed his thumb and index against the petal and tug quickly. His quest log updated once again and the rose shattered into polygons and the brush blew up seconds after the rose.

Facade felt his energy slowly restoring to his body and took a few swings at the air. He created a fist and felt all of his strength finally return to him. 'Okay.. I feel a lot better than before. A surge of strength has returned to me and I feel like I can take on the entire floor by myself.' Facade stretched out his arms and legs, before glancing around the field. There were no signs of any idled monsters, because of all the players running around fighting everything. 'Surprisingly there are a ton of players running around here, could it be that there are more players coming out of hiding. I do see players with equipment that I would not find here. They must be helping out with players venture up to the higher floors. Just like Hestia and that guild she was talking about.' He sighed and made his way into the forest to find one more petal.

Facade proceeding to walk along the path of the forest, he wondered if it was possible for him to locate another treasure chest if he proceeded to walk further within the forest. 'I am really going to be off track, but as long as the treasure chest helps with improving my adventure in the front-lines, I don't think it is going to be much of a problem.' He continued along the path, watching for any sign of monsters gathering around the area. There were a few rustled brushes, but they never took an initiative to attack him, so he never bothered to check. Without scanning the floor, he stumbled over a thick object and fell over. Before he could be ready, it was another treasure chest in the path. A smile grew on his face as he slowly approached the treasure chest and placed his hand on the lock. 'I just need to smack the lock with the bottom side of my sword and I should be able to get this open.'

Facade materialized his sword and took the bottom side of his handle and smacked against the lock of the treasure chest. It slowly opened up, creating a generic loot tune, before a 'Bonus Item' window appeared before him. He is rewarded with a hundred and fifty Col, eight tier one material, a perfect unidentified armor, and two unidentified rare consumables. 'That makes four hundred and twenty Col, twenty three tier one materials, two perfect unidentified armor, and four unidentified rare consumables. I am going to need a ton of Col just to identify those items. I might just be poor after this quest.' He took a deep breath and sighed, before swiping away the window and the chest bursting into a thousand polygons. His eyes shift onto his Col and the materials he had collected, but this was just his first quest and he needed to make sure there is more to what he could do.

As the polygon began to fade away, there stood a «Dire Wolf» growling at Facade, as he slowly backed away into a tree. He gripped the handle of his blade and quickly initiated his attack, but as he swung his blade against the «Dire Wolf», it ducked and lunged itself up toward him. He quickly dropped onto his belly and the «Dire Wolf» flew over him. He quickly got back up on his feet and glanced back at the «Dire Wolf». 'That was a close one, if I was up for another second, the Dire Wolf would have bit me. Probably took a chunk of my head with it. I need to be quicker and react a lot faster without having it take my health away.' Facade quickly turned back toward the «Dire Wolf» and smirked, as he pulled his blade up toward the «Dire Wolf». The «Dire Wolf» howled at him, but he already had his focus on the «Dire Wolf» and was ready to attack.

Facade attempted to advance toward the «Dire Wolf», but before he could land a strike, it took a bite onto his left arm. He struggled with pain, but was able to smack the «Dire Wolf» against the trunk of a nearby tree, causing it to whine in pain. He took a stance, activating his Sword Art, «Snake Bite». A skill he has constantly been spamming, as it is easy for him to recover energy and it took quite the damage on the «Dire Wolf» and other monsters. 'It seems like the Dire Wolf lost almost half of its health points already, if this keeps going in my favor, I should be able to end this quickly and go after the next Dragon Petal and make my way back to the town with no worries.' He took a defensive stance and circled the «Dire Wolf» to make sure it would not attack him.

The «Dire Wolf» attempted to sneak an attack against Facade, but he was able to evade the attack. Before he could activate his Sword Art, his sword began to glow, indicating his next attack he was about to land is going to be a critical. He began to activate the Sword Art, «Snake Bite» and the blade of his sword began to emit a heat that he only felt once or twice. He began to quickly attack the «Dire Wolf» with three swift angled slashes, dropping the health of the «Dire Wolf» all the way to twenty five percent. Facade quickly pulled back and rested his sword onto his shoulder, as he had a smile on his face. 'Alright, Sora. Do not get your hopes up. You still have to take out the rest of its health before going back to pulling plants out of the ground.' He glanced over at his health and the health of the «Dire Wolf», smiling as he could see the color of its health.

Facade let the luck of striking the «Dire Wolf» twice get to his head and without paying attention, the «Dire Wolf» took the opportunity to engage on him. Not being able to react on time, he was bit on the arm again. Facade began to punch against the «Dire Wolf» and it would let out a whine, but not let go. He swung his arm really hard against the trunk of the tree, slamming the back of the «Dire Wolf» against it. It was able to get off of his arm and he held onto his arm, as the sting of the damage lingered. Facade glared at the small «Dire Wolf», as he raised his sword up and took a defensive stance. 'If I stop distracting myself, I might be able to get through this without trying to play around with these monsters.' The «Dire Wolf» began to circle around Facade and he began to take the higher ground, so he would be able to avoid the attack if anything came at him.

The «Dire Wolf» attempted to lunge toward Facade once again, but he was able to avoid it this time. Facade attempted to retaliate against the «Dire Wolf», but as soon as he attempted to swing his sword at the «Dire Wolf», it evaded the attack by leaping out of the way. His eyes widen, shocked from the reaction of the «Dire Wolf». He leaped back towards safety, pulling his sword up. 'I did not expect the Dire Wolf to react that way. It seems like it is also learning to adapt to the way we fight. If I can surprise it with one more Sword Art, I should be able to kill in with Snake Bite. If I don't time it right, I might take another beating from it.' He took a defensive stance, as he circled the «Dire Wolf». His eyes shifted toward the nearby trunk and smiled, as his sword began to glow.

Facade took a deep breath and sighed, initiating his Sword Art, «Snake Bite». He dashed towards the «Dire Wolf», as it attempted to lunge towards him. He shouted, as he quickly attacked the «Dire Wolf» with three brisk angled slashes, before sheathing his sword. The «Dire Wolf» blew up behind him, leaving a trail of polygons but this time there was no 'Bonus Item' window and he sighed. 'I went through all that trouble and there was no loot for me. I guess I already came up upon a lot of other loot before fighting this Dire Wolf. I guess no loot this time would not bother me that much. I should just focus on the quest at hand and find the final petal, so I can move on to the next quest.' He followed the path back towards the field, hoping to spot a brush on his way back.

Facade followed the path toward the fields, but there was no sign of any brushes that grew «Dragon Roses». He ended up at a crossroads where the path split up, but he did not remember having to cross this path at all. He tapped his chin and took the rightmost path and ended up in a stranger location he was ever in before. He took a look around, but there was nothing that seemed familiar to him. He quickly pulled down for his menu, but his map did not show a way out of the forest. He also did not have a teleport crystal with him and he quickly glanced around the area ahead, but there was nothing and not even a brush that grew «Dragon Roses». A matter of fact, there was no sign of any bushes around the area. His eyes shifting from left to right, but there was no sign of any bushes. He walked down the path, but stopped when he heard something nearby.

Continuing the path, Facade soon to find himself in a part of the forest that he never saw before. He examined the trees and the rest of the greenery, but it seemed like it was a different part of the forest. He immediately went back to check at the map to see where he is and found himself to be near the monsters called, «Little Nepent». He took a few steps back and ran the opposite direction, as he had not fully recovered from his last fight. Facade got away from that section of the forest and leaned against the tree, trying to catch his breath. He had not engaged in combat with one of those monsters before, so he had no data on how to fight them. There was no time for him to just stand around, so took one deep breath and sighed and scouted the area, but stopped when he heard rustling nearby.

Facade proceeded to scout out the area around him to see if he is able to locate the brushes that grew the «Dragon Roses», but it seemed like there was no sign of the brushes anywhere. He took a deep breath and sighed, as he wandered around the forest as the morning had finally ended. He swiped down for the menu to check for the time and it is now twelve o' clock in the afternoon. He sighed, as he leaned against the tree trunk and slowly slid down on the back. 'I don't think I am going to be able to do anything for a while.. I am just going to take a few minutes and rest for a while. I don't feel like doing anything for now.. I just.. I just want to sleep for a while..' He took one glance around the area to make sure there is no monsters spawning near him, but his eyes became heavy and he soon passed out, leaning against the trunk of the tree.

Facade slowly came to his senses and there was no sign of monsters roaming the forest at all. He leaned back and swiped down for the menu with his index and middle finger. The menu appeared and he glanced over at the time and it read one thirty. He took a deep breath and sighed, as he slowly got up from the ground and brushed the dirt off himself. 'I don't have time for this right now.. I just need to hurry up with this quest. I knocked out for an hour and a half.. I am exhausting myself right now..' He proceeded to walk along the path to find the brush, but there were no sign of them anywhere in the forest. Everything in the forest were odd looking, but it did not stop Facade from continuing down the path. The rustling in the bushes nearby caught his attention, but as soon as he turned, it was gone.
