End Online: Volume 1
forced to continue as more
players signed up and began doing the training. This place was surprisingly
popular, and so was I, the guy that the centurion hates.
    After the latest day of
training the centurion told me to follow him, a little confused I ended up in a
small audience chamber where he put a hand on my shoulder and sat me down at a
the only table in the room, congratulating me for all the hard work I had put
in. It all seemed a bit surreal to me at the time considering the complete
change of attitude he had with me.
    “Congratulations, trainee,
today you graduate a stronger person that when you came here,” his voice was
low and soft, I wonder if he’s broken
    “I’m not quite sure how
express my thanks, you have done so much for me,” its true, after everything I had to endure my stats had rose considerably and I had
developed a personal fighting style using two short swords.
    “Well, I didn’t
particularly like to you start with, just looking at you made me want to throw
your corpse into a prison cell to rot,” he was completely serious and we both
knew it, “But, you showed you mettle and proved me wrong, the training I gave
you is more than any normal trainee would do. Its rewards are reflected in
the skills and techniques”
    “There was no way I could
possibly not stay until the end, and now I’m truly glad I did.”
    “Good, because there is
another matter I would like to trouble you with,” Not even a chance to accept
or not he just continued anyway, “As you can see my faced was scarred from an
attack in the past. It was done by the great white wolf, believed to be a
spawn of Fenrir himself. Thanks to my duties here as a defender of this city I
am no longer able to leave and seek my vengeance. Thus I would like you to do
it on my behalf and bring me back the its hide.”
    Quest: Slay the great white wolf
    Centurion Markus has requested you avenge the scar on
his face by slaying the beast that caused it, the great white wolf.
    The creature is said to live in a mountain cave east
of the city.
     
    Failure or refusal will cause Centurion Markus to consider
you even weaker than a maggot and will never train you again.
     
    Grade: Orange
     
    “Very well, I will slay
this wolf for you and bring back its body.” This should be a great way to test
out my new strength at the very least, not that I didn’t want to refuse it so
he never speaks to me again.
    “GOOD! You may keep your
training weapons and your new skills with you to complete this task!” I think
this guy is just naturally loud. Anyway, I now not only gained some proper
weapons but at the same time I received a notification I had gained a new
skill. Dismissing it and opening my character status what I could not hide
my shock. I didn’t receive the standard military arts skill. What was in
the place it should be, was a skill a step above it.
