(A/N)

Thanks to all those who reviewed. Game start! Ben's POV.

I entered the portal and got teleported back to Perion. I rang Joe on the PM Phone.

"I at Perion. Whr r u?" I typed.

"Near someone named Ayan." Joe replied.

I hang up and searched for five minutes. In the end, I found some tents and beside a girl about twenty-six years old, there was my friends talking to her.

"Yo. What's up?" I waved as I walked over.

"It's just another quest. See." Joe pointed to one of the quests in the 'Quests Available' page.

"Huh. So it concerns Stumps." I just murmured and stared at the teenager. She was Ayan, I suppose.

"Well, it goes like this. There are many Stumps near here. I need you to kill some for me and bring back 40 Tree Stumps that they drop as proof. Are you up for it?" Ayan asked innocently enough. We accepted the quest of course. We hurried to the valley where there are monsters.

"The Stumpies usually hang out here." I said.

Joe took out a bow. Mimi took out a wand. Eve took out a claw. Everyone began attacking.

"Woah, woah, woah." I cringed as everyone attacked the Stumps all at once without mercy. "Well, guess I'd better join in the action." I muttered as I jumped forward to attack.

I stabbed my sword into a Dark Stump's eye. Blood gushed out and the Dark Stump moaned in pain. I slashed it and it was dead. Mimi attacked a Stump with her new skill: Energy Bolt.

"Oh, okay. So now you are not the odd one out who can't fight." I remarked as I stabbed a Dark Stump seven times.

"I want to be even." Mimi rolled her eyes as she cast another Energy Bolt.

"Um, a little help over here?" called Eve. We spun round to find thirty-eight Stumps and Dark Stumps surrounding the two. Before we could even run there, a Dark Stump attacked us.

"I'll hold these Stumpies back. You go and help them!" Mimi said, as she held back ten Stumps. "Okay." I let the word escape from my lips as I rushed forward to help Joe and Eve who were already panting as the remaining ten Stumps attacked them.

"Take that, you foul creature!" I yelled as I slashed a Stump into two. Three Stumps jumped at me and I simply kicked two to another corner and stabbed one to death.

The remaining seven Stumps walked towards us. Four jumped at Eve and Joe while three jumped at me.

"I stabbed one in the eye continuously. Finally, I released the dead Stump and tripped the other two Stumps. I stabbed them in their backs.

"A little snack." Eve smirked and threw a Subi Star at a Stump. The star pierced into the Stump's body and it dropped dead.

Joe panted as he struggled to use his weapon without tiring himself. He shot an arrow at a Stump. But the Stump was still not damaged enough to be killed. It pounced on Joe but I stabbed it quickly with my sword.

The remaining Stumps jumped at us all at once. Mimi, having finished with the Dark Stumps, came to help us. Before long, the Stumps were either stabbed to death or broken into teeny weeny pieces by Mimi's strong Energy Bolt.

"Good work, team. We now have 40 Tree Stumps. Let's head back to Ayan." I instructed and I ran toward the portal. Eve still had 20 of energy left, but Joe was panting non-stop and Eve had to help him walk.

Well, at least everyone leveled up.

Levels:

Ben Lv 12

Mimi Lv 9

Joe Lv 11

Eve Lv 11

"Now I can wear these." Eve grinned cheerfully as she slipped on a pair of Black Gomurshins. "Cool. Black is my colour." Mimi commented.

We entered the portal and handed the Tree Stumps to Ayan. She nodded approvingly and declared our quest completed. Everyone jumped in delight except for Joe, who smiled weakly.

"We better get him something to let his health recover." I suggested.

"Think of something then. I don't want to carry this fool all day!" Eve yelled.

"Use this." Mimi stuffed her hand into Joe's bagpack and brought out a Red Potion. Joe drank it and became energetic at once.

"That was great! I feel relaxed now." Joe cheered.

Eve stared and took out an Orange Potion. She drank it and almost spit the potion out.

"Eeeel!! Disgusting! Still, it gave me more energy. I feel like my energy is full now!" Eve said, thrilled.

"Let's search for another quest." I suggested.

"Can you tell me the amount of health I have?" Joe asked Mimi as we stepped into the cab.

"79/100 HP." Mimi answered as Eve plopped her butt onto the front seat. I tossed the cab driver 1,000 mesos and asked him to take us to Kerning City.

We stepped out of the cab as soon as we reached our destination.

"Let's hang out at the Internet Café." Eve suggested.

"Nah. Café's not my kinda' stuff." I replied.

"Me too." Mimi muttered.

"Guess I'll go with you. There's nothing more to do, anyway." Joe said as he followed Eve to the Internet Café.

"Um… I guess we should go train." I suggested and Mimi nodded yes. We headed to Kerning City Construction Site. According to the Maple Book, it was previously a construction site but now became a suitable place for monsters to hang out.

Octopuses, Slimes, and Orange Mushrooms made their way at us.

"I knew there were Octopuses here." Mimi grinned.

"How the heck did you know?" I asked casually.

Mimi simply took out her Maple Book and pointed to her Int, which was now 40 instead of 35.

I looked away and grunted at how the monsters looked strong. Mimi simply cast an Energy Bolt at an Octopus. It growled and tried to wrap her up in it's tentacles. Mimi jumped out of the way and the Octopus ended up tangling up it's own tentacles. I sliced them up and then proceeded to slice the Octopus into half.

"A mushroom." Mimi muttered as she cast an Energy Bolt at an Orange Mushroom. It turned towards her, still smiling, and knocked her onto the floor.

"That's rude." Mimi grunted as she cast another Energy Bolt at the Orange Mushroom. She somersaulted away as the Orange Mushroom tried to attack her. Instead, it crashed onto the wall.

"An Int trick." Mimi grinned as the Orange Mushroom pounced on her. Mimi ducked and took this moment to attack with another Energy Bolt. The Orange Mushroom was killed immediately.

Suddenly, the remains of a Slime and two Octopuses were slammed onto the ground beside her. She looked up to see Ben cheering. "That's not all, kiddo." I said as I pointed to numerous of Octopuses jumping down at us.

"Where did they come from?" I asked as I sliced an Octopus almost landing on me. "From there." Mimi cast an Energy Bolt and pointed to the top of a construction building.

"Great, they wanna feast on us." I said again and I dodged as an Octopus landed. Another one almost landed on me. "Mimi, how many Octopuses are going to fall?" I yelled as I stabbed an Octopus's tentacles and then stabbing it's chest.

"Ninety-Nine." Mimi replied grimly.

"Oh great… WHAT?! We better get out of here!!" I yelled as I pulled Mimi to the portal leading to Kerning City as the Octopuses chased us.
