Walking deeper into the forest, Dro saw another group of five young wolves sleeping under one tree. He walked up to them; once he was 15-yards away from them, the bush rustled and from it, the mother wolf leapt out towards him. But unlike previous times when he was ambushed or when he dodged the mother wolf's leap by sidestepping and then following up with his attack, this time not one of those two things happened. The moment mother wolf leapt towards him, a spear of blood appeared in his hand and then it left his hand as it flew towards the mother wolf which was now in mid-air.

The blood spear collided with the mother wolf at the halfway point between Dro and the bush from which the mother wolf leapt from.

<Blood Spear>

<-330> <+12 Rage>

Getting hit by the blood spear, the mother wolf started falling down to the ground and as she did Dro rushed in.

Falling down to the ground, the mother wolf slowly stood up and looked up from the ground and as she laid her eyes on Dro, he was already in front of her and his right punch was already flying towards her.

<Werepire's Punch, Critical>

<-667, Mother Wolf> <+25 Rage>

Dro's skill additionally to being a critical strike dealt even more damage as both of his passives were now increasing his damage, he received 12% increased damage from <True Werebeast's Dominance> and another 10% from <True Vampire's Dominance> giving him in total of 22% increased damage from both of them.

The mother wolf for the very first time whimpered and he followed up with his left punch but unlike before, the left hand got engulfed in a thin layer of blood and a notification flashed.

<Unique Skill Created, Blood Punch, Punches the target for 50% Strength + 75 % Dexterity + 150% Intellect as damage, Range: Melee, Cooldown: 5 seconds, Cost 35 Blood and 40 Energy, Cast Time: Instant>

<Blood Punch>

<-366, Mother Wolf> <+12 Rage>

<Mother Wolf, Slain>

<+250 XP>

<Level Up>

<Level 11>

<You have been awarded 30 attribute points>

<You have 30 Unspent Attribute Points>

Dro smiled, "A new skill? Awesome!" he mumbled and then thought, "I will allocate attribute points and talent points later." He turned his head to the five sleeping young wolves and walked up to them; killing them one by one until all five were dead.

Killing all five, he received 300 experience points.

Afterwards, Dro looked up into the sky and his eyes moved onto the crescent yellow moon, "It's still night, and I have done both the objectives… I might as well grind monsters until dawn. Not like I need to sleep," he thought and lowered his eyes from the moon.

Dro walked even deeper into the forest and killed two more groups that consisted of a mother wolf and five young wolves. Killing these two groups, he received 1100 experience points and levelled up, reaching <Level 12>, the same level Holdrak was when Dro met him the last time.

Dro walked even deeper into the forest, looking for even more wolves to kill but after walking for more than 20 breaths of time without seeing the third group he frowned, "Where are the wolves?" he thought and then saw a faint light in the distance.

"What is that?" Dro thought as his eyes narrowed. He walked to the faint light and when he was around twenty-five yards away from the light, he finally saw what it was. He saw a campfire and around it four people, focusing on the four beside the campfire, he saw that they were all between level 10 and 13 and that they all had classes.

<Arto, Level 10, Archer>

<Wrao, Level 10, Warlock>

<Hersl, Level 13, Paladin>

<Smeto, Level 11, Berserker>

"Players? Why are they here? And why are they camping? I Might as well go and ask… I can also ask how much time has passed since RE: AWO began," Dro thought and walked up to the campsite.

When he emerged from the darkness, Arto who was facing in the direction of Dro jumped up and shouted out, "Ahh!"

The other players reacted and they jumped up as well, they all turned around and moved their eyes to where the player that shouted was looking at; once their eyes landed on Dro, they all relaxed.

Smeto glared at Arto and smacked him on the head, "What are you shouting for! It's just another player!"

Arto rubbed his head, "I am sorry but he just came out of nowhere! I thought that it was a monster."

Hersl sighed and looked at Dro, "Sorry about that brother… but what are doing wandering around at night, it's dangerous to walk around this forest alone. Level 10 elites are at every corner."

Dro nodded, "I know but what about you four? What are you all doing here?"

The four players exchanged glances and then looked at Dro.

"We are waiting for the dawn like everyone else," Hersl said.

"Why?" Dro tilted his head in confusion.

Hersl frowned, "What do you mean why so we can go into the dungeon and give it a try." The three others nodded a few times.

"The dungeon is here? Is it perhaps the same dungeon that Holdrak wanted to clear? But wait, why is everyone waiting for the dawn?" Dro thought and then said, "Can you tell me where is the dungeon?"

Hersl frowned deeper, "Wait a minute, did you just come into this forest for the first time?"

"Yes, so can you give me the location?"

"Do you want to join our group? You don't have a party right?" Arto said.

Wrao and Smeto nodded their heads.

Dro shrugged his shoulders, "Alright, let's go then."

The four of them frowned.

"We can't go now," Hersl shook his head.

"Why?" Dro frowned

Hersl sighed, "It's because this dungeon gets harder during the night, one of the groups that already attempted to clear it, confirmed it. The level of the monsters is higher during the night, also there wasn't a single group that even reached any of the bosses during the night so going during the night would be a suicide. So we will wait until morning and go then." He moved his hand and then a notification message flashed before Dro.

<Hersl Invited you to join a group>

<Accept, Decline>

Dro nodded, "I understand," he tapped 'decline' and continued, "Give me the location of the dungeon and I will be on my way."

The four of them frowned at the same time.

"You are not going to join us?" Arto asked.

"Going at night will only get you killed," Smeto added.

"You should wait with us until morning and go then and besides its already late, you should get a good night sleep," Wrao said.

Dro shook his head, "I am not going to wait until morning and if you are not going to give me location then I will find the dungeon myself but before I go, I will ask one question, how much time has passed since the start of this world?"

The four of them frowned once more and Hersl said, "I will give you the location as its too dangerous to wander around in this forest alone at night but please don't do something as stupid as going into the dungeon on your own. I don't want to be the one that sent a fellow player to his death and for your question, it has been four days... although it is strange that you would ask that. Did you get lost in time or what?"

"Where is it?"

Hersl sighed, "Just go in a straight line in that direction," he pointed his finger north-west of the campsite.

Dro nodded, "Thank you," he said and walked away.

When he disappeared into the night, the three looked at their leader with questioning looks and Hersl shook his head, "He declined the party request and he wasn't willing to wait, we don't need people like that in our group."

The three nodded and Hersl moved his eyes to the campfire, "Alright, we should get some rest, I will take the first watch, get some sleep we will clear the dungeon in the morning."

The three nodded and said in unison, "Yes, leader." They all laid down by the campfire and closed their eyes. Hersl sat down by the campfire and looked into the sky and mumbled, "So he is Dro, the one who defeated out future guild leader and the one who shares the name with that player who was the first one to reach <Level 10>." he chuckled, "Holdrak was right of his analysis of Dro, we don't need players like him around! We only need a single force to lead the players and that is Holdrak. We don't need anyone else!"
