Supreme Archer: Taking The Game's Weakest Class To The Top

Chapter 14: A First Quest (6)

Chapter 14: A First Quest (6)

Jake collapsed onto the ground, breathing heavily.

He had been running around and exercising so much that he no longer had any strength to stand still. His fingers hurt him the most, as he had been releasing arrows a lot and even flipped and rolled, using them to get a better foothold or lift himself back to his archery forms.

The satisfaction of killing the boss still swelled his heart, making him broadly smile. He couldn't close his eyes or drop unconscious because of this thrill coursing through him.

It just felt so good.

No other words could have described Jake's feelings at that moment.

A few minutes later, he got to his feet. His stamina has regenerated a little, so he could move around and even take a wooden shovel from his inventory to dig out the steel ax in this area.

Having enough clues about the location of his quest's objective, Jake craned his head and found the vast bed formed from leaves at the end of the arena, which wasn't difficult.

He walked toward it with steady and slow steps, then jumped in.

It was warm but also smelly inside. The smell of raw meat and wilderness was no longer foreign to Jake, so he didn't get any retching reaction and focused on his goal.

He dropped his shovel in the middle of the boss' throne and started burrowing. His sore arms and numb fingers were the only obstacles in his endeavor.

But Jake held on and stubbornly threw piles of dirt to the side, dedicated to finishing this quest today.

At last, he struck something tough. Goosebumps went through his forearms after noticing that slice of clean and sheen steel peeking below him. He sped up and soon grasped the handle of the steel ax—his main prize!

[Steel Ax(Rare)(Attack Damage 41~~71)(Durability(500/500)—a rare treasure rarely found in the tutorial island! This Steel Ax is not only strong enough to severely damage any opponent and cut through the toughest hides of the monsters of the tutorial island, but is also excessively sharp to cut trees of the tutorial forest.]

"Whoa, it's really a treasure!" Jake exclaimed. Though he would rarely use it against monsters, Jake was mainly pleased about the ax being convenient against the trees of the tutorial forest.

Cutting them down with wooden axes had been a horrible experience. Jake had never voiced that to Richard, as he could see that the trees were thick and that his ambition was too much for a newbie player—his stubbornness didn't allow him to share his feelings.

Since he was cutting down trees, on top of feeling satisfaction with his plans being possible and his strength and dexterity increasing, Jake washed his displeasure with his joy. He also believed that his current struggles meant that in the future, he would seamlessly cut down trees with proper equipment in his hands.

That future arrived with the Steel Ax in his inventory!

Jake clenched his shaky hands and firmly nodded, enjoying the victory and conquest.

"A rare treasure rarely found... I guess little to no people ever thought of spending so much time on the tutorial island to cut trees down, so Richard didn't have any chance to introduce this Steel Ax to them," Jake pondered while making his way to the boss's corpse.

He'd never give up on it.

Tapping the boss' carcass to find the best hook point, Jake noticed a system message flashing in the corner of his eyes. He hadn't caught it for the first time because of his exhaustion and excitement coming over him, but now that he searched for the point to grab the boss and drag him to the forest's feet, Jake realized he must have missed some system messages.

He clicked on it.

[The Forest Wolf Boss has dropped an item—Call Of The Wolf Boss(Legendary)(Active Skill)]

Jake's heart rocked against his chest.

Seeing the legendary grade skill on the tutorial island would have thrown anyone into the ocean of elation and frenzy.

Jake hadn't even noticed that he had been shaking while reading that information window.

"Legendary skill..." he clenched his hands again as though their numbness had little to say and roared to the canopy of leaves above him, "Haha! Legendary skill for real! I'll tease everyone about it for at least a month! Haha!"

Jake couldn't have stopped laughing for a good five minutes.

When his feelings subsided, and the only presence of them could be seen on his lips curved into a broad smile, he thought of his mistake of not checking the system messages after killing the boss.

After all, anyone could have stolen this item had he not been alone on the tutorial island. Items dropped on the bodies of the monsters or around them, so it was essential to check system messages after every kill.

Otherwise, players with thief classes would be the first to notice and steal the drop.

Jake jumped up and caught a glimpse of the item atop the boss' corpse. He quickly crested the carcass and reached for it, cradling a small tooth in his hand.

Because his palms were bloody, the item drowned in his blood and activated on its own.

[You have made a one-sided pact with the Call Of The Wolf Boss.]

[You have become the master of the white wolf.]

When Jake unfolded his palm, the item was gone. He didn't even know where it had gone, but the previous system messages hadn't gone unnoticed, either.

Jake opened the game system and looked at the newest skill.

He activated it by pressing the button, imagining a huge wolf similar to the boss appearing before him.

[You have used the Call Of The Wolf Boss.]

[You have summoned the white wolf for five minutes!]

A blinding ball of white light flashed in front of Jake, only to disperse into a small, little creature. It was a wolf puppy that looked no different from a small dog.

Woof! The white wolf howled adorably.

Jake smiled, "Oh, hello."

Woof! Hello Master, the puppy replied, his tail waggling.
