N1ghtm4r3 walked through the city. He just finished the first part of the tutorial, which learned him how to move and open some menu's. He walked further into the city, until he got into a shop. There, he found a quest giver which he saw on the minimap. The quest was about getting some hides. Sam smiled. He choose the Hunter gathering skill, which means he got double the crafting items. His smile faded as he read that the hides were quest drops, which meant it would still take the same amount of time as normal. He shrugged it off, thinking it would give him extra experience anyway, and walked towards the wilderniss gate. Once there, he saw a lot of boars, and people fighting them. Looking at the gear they were carrying, a lot of people were having swords or maces, but it seemed like he was the only one with a Dagger. He shrugged this off as well, then went into a field.
He walked towards a boar which was on his own. A tutorial HUD popped up, asking if he wanted help with this fight. He tapped yes, even though he didn't really need it. He read the manuel, and a lot of forums about how it was done. A smaller screen popped up and a friendly voice explained. "First, find a monster apropiate to your level. The levels are displayed above a monster's head when you look at them." He looked straight at the boar, and saw it was level 1, just like most common monsters on this floor. "Some monsters are hostile, others neutral and others even timid towards players. Hostile monsters have a red icon above there head, neutrals have an orange icon, and timids have a blue icon." Sam looked at the boar, which had an orange icon. "Hostiles will attack you on sight, while neutrals will only attack you when attack them or one of their allies. Timids will always try to get away from you, even when engaging in combat with them." The screen dissapeared and a new screen popped up. "To attack, you can just hack and slash around you. However, if you wait a bit before attacking, and channel all your power towards your weapon, you can get a power attack which does much more damage! Try it out on the monster!"
N1ghtm4r3 took out his dagger, got into fighting position, and faced the boar. The boar wasn't paying attention to him, as it was neutral like it was described to be. N1ghtm4r3 focused on his dagger, and it started to glow. He dashed for the boar, slashing it while passing it. He stopped his motion by landing on the side of a tree, whaited a bit for his dagger to glow again, and as the boar faced him this time, already a bit of health reduced from it, N1ghtm4r3 dashed for it again and slashed it again, stopping his motion this time with a roll. The boar squeeled, and turned to face him again, down to 1/3 of its health already. He turned around to the boar, which was charging at him, and focused his dagger again. As the boar came closer, N1ghtm4r3 made a small turn to the right, avoiding the attack, then turned a full circle and stabbed the boar in the side. The boar squeeled again, then dissolved into a few bright lights. N1ghtm4r3 looked at a new popup, and saw he got a hide from the boar.
He accepted the loot, and looked around him. A few people were looking his way. Then he noticed a new popup from the tutorial. "If you are hurt from a battle, you can use potions to heal up again." N1ghtm4r3 looked at his HP bar, which was still full. Easier then I expected. He thought, looking around for other boars. He would farm a bit more to complete the quest, then move on to the next village so he could get an upgraded dagger. He would need to get a ranged weapon as well, but they wouldn't be available untill the second floor.
