Monster Soul Online

Chapter 6: The Return of Lone Wolf

At the main branch of the Victorious Wolves Sect, the core members of the sect consisting of six people had been being confused by the mysterious disappearance of their leader during the conference. They were now sitting and discussing many things stressfully. Then, the black shadow suddenly emerged on the floor in the meeting room, on the chair of the guild head.

All people in the room panicked with the incident at sight. They each drew their weapon and clutched it tightly, waiting for the upcoming event that might be a sudden invasion of enemys guilds.

Soon, the body of a young man dressed in an elite wuxia clothing appeared. When ones saw the resembling figure, they disarmed.

Leader! shouted everyone with the tone that expressing relief.

Hmm? Everybody is still here? Do we have a meeting that lasts long a week now? Im just not here for a while, but our meeting had become more intense, huh? said the man jokingly.

Its not funny! Where had you been? Everyone was looking for you. We couldnt even get in touch with you.

A young woman with graceful looks complained. She had long braided-hair over her shoulder and was wearing a male wuxia outfit.

I went to do a hidden quest. Its a special area so we couldnt contact each other. Are you worrying about me that much, Ratri?

The ladys cheeks turned slightly pink.

Who are!? I just worry about the guild. The guild that its leader suddenly disappeared for a week!

I am truly sorry. Its a quest that I was forced to do. When the quest condition was met, it instantly teleported me there.

Then, the old man with a white mustache stepped forward.

Easy, easy, its a good thing that the leader has come back safely. By the way, could you please tell us that quests detail?

Oh, Hermit. Its a duo quest that I almost forgot about it. Its the first quest I ever received though. Nevertheless, I cant tell you much detail, otherwise my reward will be confiscated. answered the man.

Hermit understandingly nodded, Then, could you at least tell us what the reward is?

Hermit knew well that most of the hidden quests rewards are good. With even the restriction that forbade the quest holder to share information to anyone else, the reward should be at least B Grade item.

Its a card.

A card? Just one? said Ratri. Everyone in the room also wondered what kind of quest would give only a single card while taking one week to finish it, show us.

The man opened the system window.

It cannot be removed from my window so I will read it out loud for you guys.

In this game, a player cannot look into another players system window. Except the player is equipping Peek Card which its C-grade card that dropped from One-Eye Bat.

(S) Pride Card Level 1

All basic stats increase by 50% when you arent in a party.

You will earn only 10% of all experience point from now on.

The whole room suddenly full of shocked and delighted expressions. People shocked how good this card was, and delighted that with this card; their leaders strength would be increased by half. And a half of his strength was considered very significant.

Afterward, its Hermit, the guilds strategist, who broke the silence of the room.

Formerly, if I didnt hear wrongly, the leader said that its a duo quest. May I ask whether another person also get the same reward?

No, it seemed like he got another card. But the usefulness of his card shouldnt be much different from mine.

Then who is that person? Is he an ally or an enemy?

Everyone wanted to ask this exact question as well. Being a friend or foe, the result would be very different. If that person was an ally, then their alliance would get stronger; but if that person was an enemy, it would mean a more dangerous opponent had shown up.

I dont know too.

The room quieted down again, and its Hermit again who spoke up, You did a one-week long quest together, why dont you know?

I really cant explain the detail since its related to the quest. But I can say that he may be neither an ally nor an enemy.

Do you mean, he is a guildless player? asked Ratri.

Guildless player or individual player refer to the player who isnt affiliated to any guild. In this game, there were many kinds of people who wanted to seek for something they couldnt find in real life. Some sought for authority, some sought for money, some sought for strength, but some were just here to relax. Many people didnt interest in quest, leveling, and in-game authority; they came here for their personal reason.

It may be so since I saw him in Beginner Clothing.

All the members were glad. If that guy was still a new player, then the chance he still wasnt in any guilds was high. If they could invite him into their guild, he would be a good asset.

Well, I know what everyones thought is. Its fine to invite him, but please dont importune him so much. You all are forbidden to use violence against him as well. Thats our sects policy. Maybe he just wants to enjoy the game.

We know that, leader. Now, could you please tell us about that persons identity? hurriedly asked Hermit.

Well... his right arm looked weird; its kind of like an arm of a golem. His location is now likely to be on the Beginning Island. But judging by his potentials, it wont take long until he arrives at the Main Continent.

Is he that good?

Not much. But he could fight against fifty level 80s wolves of Squire Rank at the same time.

Everyone in the room was shocked by the fact that not much of their leader meant the new player being able to fight against fifty wolves that in Squire Rank, level 80.

Youre exaggerating, right? How could a new player do that? argued Ratri.

He could. He is able to use Qi of Little Tiger, Qi of Little Fish, Bone Restructuring Qi, Basic Qi, and maybe Recovering Qi as well.

What!? A new player could use qi? And He even possesses two of Qi of Little Divine Beings, on top of that! How is that possible? shouted Ratri.

Its possible, I myself am the one who transmitted him those qi... except for Recovering Qi though, since he already had it from the start.

Everyone in the room glanced at their leader speechlessly.

Hmm? What about it?

The man played dumb.

Dont play dumb. Other qi aside, how dare you transmit Qi of Little Tiger and Qi of Little Fish to an outsider? More importantly, didnt you once tell us you couldnt transmit those? said Ratri.

Its because that place is special, it has five times recovery rate than normal and I could see that he had a potential for growth, answered the man, Calm down, it doesnt like I lose anything by transmitting qi to other, so its fine. I just had to stabilize my qi for a moment back then.

Basically, Qi of Little Tiger and Qi of Little Fish are two of Qi of Little Divine Beings series; including Qi of Little Tiger, Qi of Little Fish, Qi of Little Bird, and Qi of Little Turtle.

Normally, nobody could transmit these qi to another person since its required an enormous amount of qi points to perform such task. By the way, qi point was a secret stat that wasnt shown in Status Window (if it isnt upgraded.) The maximum qi point of this man was insufficient to transmit any Qi of Little Divine Beings. But in the mansion, he had found that even qi points recovery rate was five times higher than normal. He then had tried to convey some qi to Sila.

The very long time that hed had to take to stabilize his qi after transmitting qi to Sila, even with five times recovery rate of the mansion, had been concreted evidence that transmitting the Qi of Little Divine Beings really required a lot of resources.

Sila had been lucky too. Usually, when Qi of Little Divine Beings entered ones body, ones health point would be decreased constantly until one died or was able to control it. But with the mansions health points recovery rate that surpassed health points declining rate, Sila could somehow survive, though it took a lot of time and he felt very painful.

These two problems had always prevented this man to transmit the Qi of Little Divine Beings to his guildmates even though he would love to. However, all of them had been solved simultaneously by the existence of the Mansion of the Seven Deadly Sins.

Later, the leader got many complaints from Ratri. Everyone somehow smiled in a mild manner with that sight. They all knew that the leader and Ratri were actually a couple in real life that had decided to play the game together. However, except for core members presented here, all other guildmates only knew Ratri as a vice leader. In fact, the leader didn't care if everyone knew about Ratri being his girlfriend. But its Hermit who told him that he should keep this a secret to reflect a good sects governance.

Well, let the meeting ends now. My ears are going numb.

Then everyone dispersed and announced the reappearance of their leader to other guild members. They said that the leader just had left to practice, and now he was back, with the strength that increased tremendously.

When all people went out of the room, the man went outside to the terrace and circulated Qi of Little Bird. Then, he soared like a majestic bird onto the door facade.

The praises could be heard from the audiences below, admiring their leaders skill.

The man gestured his hand for everyone to silence then everyone was quiet down in unison.

Now I have completed my intense training. Sorry to make everyone worried. With my current strength, I guarantee that our sect will be the one who wins this years war event!!

This was the action Hermit begged him to do some work: at least motivating the guildmates moral.

Then, please excuse me.

Leader? Where are you going? We should celebrate with you completing your training.

One member shouted, and everyone seemed to agree with him.

Lets get it ready in another seven days, then. I am going to hunt Silver Griffin and will surely bring its meat to feed everyone. Theres a rumor that its meat is very tasty, we will know soon whether it is true or not.

He declared and then soared, disappearing from everyones sight.

The guildmates suddenly buzzed because they all knew that Silver Griffin was a magical beast that nobody in the game had solo-killed it yet; this fact alone was enough to indicate its fearsome abilities. Still, their leader planned to hunt it alone! With the goal of getting its meat, the fight would get much harder since he has to tear it off alive; because in Monster Soul, when monster died, it became a shattered light in three seconds.

If he can get the meat, we will surely win the war event this year. said one member with admiration.

Silver Griffin, Marquis Rank, Level 600. Swift and flying-type magical beast, together with high physical and magic endurance, and it could even use magic spells.

The yell got louder to the versatility of their leader. Everyone was proud to be a member of this guild.

Ratri felt glad as she saw these incidents. Her loved one was truly majestic. She still remembered the day back then when their guild only consisted of mere seven persons.

While Ratri smiled lovingly, Hermits voice cried out.

Leader! I told you to incite them, not to go outside! Your last weeks assignments still unfinished, yet you are going to leave for another week!? Do you have any idea who will have to clear your work instead!? Leader! Come back!

Everybody turned their heads to Hermit and thought:

Leader skips his work again...

Ratri giggled. She took a glance at the wooden sign in front of the sect, which was the first guild sign that her lover had wrote.

Victorious Wolves Sect, a home of all Wuxia, with the signature: Lone Wolf.

Meanwhile, Sila appeared in some strange place. Its a sweet pink room with colorful flowers pattern. He was confident that he hadnt known of anywhere like here.

While hes still confused, he could spot the young lady fallen asleep in sitting pose on the chair, putting her face down on the table in the middle of the room.

This woman was considered very pretty. She was wearing a pink dress with lace. Her skins also smooth white.

Sila looked around the room. Soon he realized that since he had been teleported from the Beginner Building, this room must be within the Beginner Building. The time had passed for seven days; Mister Crow would have gone back, so this girl must be Lucy, Crows granddaughter.

With the thought that he didnt want to disturb Lucys sleep, Sila walked toward the door, but it didnt open.

I have to find a red button, thought Sila as he remembered that Crow once tried pressing a red button.

However, Sila couldnt find any button.

While he didnt know what to do, his system window alarmed.

You have received one message.

Sila read the message and then frowned.

Come meet me on the second floor of Beginning Towns restaurant after you get this message. Be fast.

There isnt any sender name on the message, so who is the sender? I havent been acquainted with any player yet, have I?

Sila tried to wake Lucy up, but her sleep was a very deep one. No matter how many times Sila had poked, called out, or slightly shook her body; shes still sound asleep. Since she was a lady he wasnt close to, Sila was afraid of offending her too much. So, he stopped trying to wake her in the end.

Afterward, Sila decided to circulate his qi while waiting for Lucy to wake up herself. He then entered the meditation state.
