Pedro entered the office and sat down on the chair that the chief pointed.
"By the way, I am Antonio Kagat.. The chief of Kagat Village!" Antonio Introduced briefly..
"To be honest with you adventurer.... Death! The village is currently on state of alert!" The village chief started to explain the current situation of the village.
'Come on man, it's awkward when you say my name like that!' Pedro thought to himself before he replied.
"Is that so? Then what can I do for you, chief?" Pedro answered back with a question. He knows that going straight to the point is the best approach. Doing quests and exploring the game was the main goal of the other beta players. If he took too much time on a single quest, there is a chance that someone else might get a head of him.
"It's good to see that you are confident enough, young adventurer! let me brief you of the situation first.." Antonio commented and continued "Just this morning, a soldier among the escort group of my wife and daughter returned to the main gate barely breathing.. After tending to his wounds, he informed us that while escorting my wife and daughter, they encountered a group of trolls.. The group of trolls was extra-ordinary, that they were able to kill every single soldier in the escort team.."
"what about your wife and daughter?" Pedro curiously asked while thinking to his self... 'I hope this is not one of those hunt quests.. even with my ~Undying~ , I am not confident enough to do hunt quests yet..'
"Thankfully, the trolls didn't harm them.. based on the information from the soldier, a fellow soldier stalled for him to escape and send warning to the village. While he was running as fast as he could, he often look back to the place of incident and saw my wife and daughter in the middle of the group of trolls like a prisoner, and walked to the forest." The Chief explained
"What can I do, Chief?"
"The soldiers are preparing as we speak. It will take about 20 minutes to complete. The trolls might have not wondered that far, so we will conduct a rescue operation... We can only leave when all of the soldier are ready.. At this point in time, scout soldiers were often mobilize to locate the tracks of the enemy so we can plan a strategy to minimize the casualties, unfortunately, the village had only one scout, and he is the soldier who just returned from the ambush and is gravely injured." Antonio explained with a deep voice.
"You want me to scout the enemies?!" Pedro replied in an astonished manner that made him almost fell into the chair.. 'This is definitely not a hunt quest... but the danger is of the same level..'
"Yes.. young adventurer.. although I know that this beyond your current capabilities... and.. this might cause your.. untimely..... death..... If you are able to complete this, I will reward you handsomely!" Antonio bravely answered even though Pedro clearly felt that the chief is nervous to what he will answer.. The room once again become silent as Pedro pondered if he is going to take the quest or not..

'If i take the quest, there is a high risk that I will die even if it is just scouting.. On the other hand, this is a quest requested by the village chief himself. The reward should be good..' Pedro took a deep breath upon analyzing the situations he might encounter..
'ahhh.. there is no sense thinking.. It's just scouting.. I am not required to kill anything.. at worst I can just tell them that I didn't notice anything unusual.. or point at a random location hahaha...'
"I accept.. I'll take the risk, Chief!" after a minute of silence, Pedro calmly answered..
[Player "Death" has accepted the quest!]
"That's great!! Thanks young adventurer! I will take this as a big dept on you!" Before Pedro can speak, Antonio shot up from his chair and his nervousness was changed with joy..
"Take this young adventurer! Go to the village shop! buy some items that might be used for your survival!" Antonio gave Pedro 10 silver coins. Pedro was about to go out off the office when the Chief uttered something.
"Another thing.. young adventurer.. If.. just if you were successful in tracking those trolls and there is an opportunity to rescue my wife and my daughter and safely escape! It would be of great help if you could rescue them and escape! I will personally reward you a secret skill passed down in our family!"

He rushed to the village shop to buy some items.
"Welcome!" The saleswoman greeted casually.
"Is there anything I can purchase, under 10 silver coin?" Pedro was in a rush, he didn't have time to look at every item on the shop..
"Under 10 silver coin?!" the saleswoman was shocked but she still acted professionally.
"Sire, here are the items that can be bought under 10 silver coin!" the saleswoman brought 3 items into the counter.

'Only this?' .... 'wait a second... 50 HP?' Pedro remained quiet and shocked. 'haiiist.. this is really a newbie village, the shop doesn't even have weapons or equipment for sale.'
....
'I'll buy the potions.. It is better than having an empty inventory..'
"I'll buy 1 potion injector and 90 intermediate potion!" Pedro used all the money that the chief has given him. (1 gold coin is equivalent to 100 silver coins, 1 silver coin is equivalent to 100 bronze coins.)
'I must rush to the forest. The duration of this quest is really short..' He thought in his head and immediately rushed to the north of Kagat Village, where the wife and daughter of the chief was ambushed.
....
Running for 5 minutes.. Pedro was able to reach the area where the incident happened.. Soldiers' dead bodies are all over the place.. He paused for a moment to catch his breath and checked how much time was left for him to complete his quest.
