GAME DEVELOPER SYSTEM



Looking at the dagger that penetrated the monster's skull after the battle, Gabe was partially right.

The tip of the dagger really became very crooked and the blade part was practically useless to cut anything anymore, now with only the side of the dagger still had a cut and could be used in battle, but because of the way he fought, the usefulness of it decreased a lot.

"We have to be quick, Gnolls have keen ears and possibly noticed the noise coming from our battle, the probability of more sentries coming in the next few minutes is very high." Draum said as he checked everyone's situation.

Seeing that no one was hurt, everyone began repairing their equipment, as Gabe and Max cleaned the blood from the daggers and sword, Madison reloaded the arrows, Draum checked the durability of the shield, while the safety of the rest of the group rested with Caitlyn and Marcus, the man with the military equipment.

The group didn't take long to finish this and quickly started moving.

But instead of running away from where they were, they moved slightly towards the Gnoll camp as they stayed quiet behind some trees, waiting for the sentries to come and find out what was going on.

The Gnoll camp had far more monsters than they could handle at the same time, so they intended to buy time by delaying their communication and take advantage while the monsters still didn't know they were there to analyze the terrain and find an advantageous position, especially considering that In their group of 7 people, 4 people were able to attack from a distance, that in itself would be a huge advantage if they found a good spot.

It didn't take long for another group of 4 Gnolls to approach their location, but even though they were hidden, the smell of blood for the enhanced nose of these monsters was very clear, making them stay alert for a possible ambush, luckily it was clear that they were unaware of the group's location.

Draum didn't need long to think as he pointed to a Gnoll with a flail and another Gnoll carrying two daggers at the far end of the group.

Gabe and Madison looked at each other and nodded.

With his left hand, Gabe lightly tossed the dagger he was holding in the air, making the dagger float beside him with the tip pointed at the Gnoll with the flail, while Madison had her bowstring fully drawn, ready to release at any time while targeting the Gnoll with the daggers.

Swoosh

Swoosh

As Gabe commanded his knife forward, Madison released her bowstring as well.

The way they used to decide which would be the target of each one with just an exchange of glances was not due to a high synergy between them, since in that short time it would be impossible to build something like that, but because the Gnoll holding a Flail was closer to Gabe's side, while the goblin with the daggers was closer to Madison's side.

Hearing the noise of the wind being cut, the Gnolls became alert as they tried to look around and use their ears to identify the direction the attack was coming from, but unfortunately, when they noticed something amiss it was too late.

Pfft

As the arrow was thinner, the Gnoll with the daggers was the first to be pierced, receiving a neck shot that made his eyes widen.

Pfft

Soon after, the Gnoll with the flail in the rear also felt that something was wrong, but there was nothing he could do, except hearing the noise of the cutting dagger penetrating the part below his neck from behind, causing his body to become suddenly limp and his consciousness disappeared.

Gabe wanted to hit the Gnoll's neck, but because of the distance he lost some control of the dagger and it fell slightly, hitting the part below the neck, but that was still a pretty effective shot.

Seeing what happened to their two companions, the two Gnolls who were holding axes in front of them started screaming as they ran in the direction the attacks came from, especially when they saw a human with a large shield appearing.

Bang!!!!!

Only this time the strength of the Gnolls was much deeper than the Gnolls in the previous battle.

Draum felt his arm go numb after one of the Gnolls took a large ax in both hands and hit it hard.

Just by that blow Draum realized that they were facing Mid Rank E Gnolls at that moment.

Fortunately after the other Gnoll hit the shield he realized that this second Gnoll was only Low Rank E, which wore him down less, but was still very tiring.

He didn't have to wait long before a long spear jutted out beside his shield and sliced ​​through this weaker Gnoll's arm.

Without the help of the second arm to hold the great axe, this Gnoll knew it would be useless and dropped the ax to the ground, ignoring the wound in his arm as he pointed his claws forward and dashed towards the frailer looking humans behind him. group.

Wow…

But this excessive anger made the Gnoll ignore the danger around him, which made Max, who was waiting for this opportunity, manage to open a large cut in the Gnoll's chest, finally ending his life.

With only a single Gnoll left, despite being a Mid Rank E Gnoll, he was dealing with at least 5 Rank E Players at the same time, which greatly limited the range of options he could pursue, only being left for dead after a few minutes. seconds of battle.

Now that even the sentries sent by the camp to look into the situation with the disappearing sentries have also disappeared, the party made sure the Gnolls would be aware that there were enemies around, which would likely greatly affect how difficult they would be to complete this. safely, but they weren't in a hurry.

Using Marcus and Madison's knowledge of perception and tracking, the group was able to handle all the Gnolls that came after them safely.

After two hours the group managed to explore much of the camp that the Gnolls had built and make a rudimentary map of the area, with both strengths and weaknesses where they could battle.

Occasionally Gabe would look at Caitlyn with a furrowed brow, sensing that this girl was slightly familiar, but because of the tied up hair she was wearing in addition to the black mask that covered half of her face, it was difficult for Gabe to recognize.

Until he realized that every now and then he also caught her sneaking a look at him, which made him feel even more that something was wrong, but considering they were on a dangerous mission, it was something Gabe decided to just put aside. to focus on what really mattered at the moment.

Since this girl didn't want to talk to him, Gabe didn't care either and continued talking with Max and Madison who were quite enthusiastic explaining various knowledge they gained while completing Rank F missions in the past and Rank E currently.

Gabe was even surprised to learn that Max was actually quite talented.

The Players talent was slightly different from the Developers talent.

While Developers depended on talent to be able to make monsters at a lower cost, thus being able to make more games and gain more Mana, Players had a different focus.

After Players started to learn skills from the games that Developers made, their Mana started to change, from a pure Mana like the Developers, to a unique Mana, which absorbed characteristics of the Player that controlled it, making it impossible for a Player to get become a Developer after playing games.

But while this unique Mana prevented the Player from becoming a Developer, depending on the Player's talent this Mana could have different characteristics for each one.

For example, Madison feels that using a skill she learned in a Rank E game to sharpen her mana and sticking it to an arrowhead was much easier than using a defensive skill she tried to learn a few months ago. .

Max on the other hand was more versatile than Madison, and having a high talent, not only could he train the skill he learned faster, but also his Mana expanded faster, which Gabe soon imagined could be affected by how his emotions affect him, as every time Gabe looked at Max, or he was smiling, or he was furious, it was as if this young man was always black or white, but never gray.

For this reason, despite being one of the youngest in the group, next only to Madison and Caitlyn, currently Max was one of the closest Players to becoming someone in Rank D.

With that Gabe soon understood that he wasn't the only one Sullivan was training in this mission, especially when he remembered that Sullivan said that the group that Gabe would be allocated was quite experienced and promising, which was a pleasant surprise for Gabe.

In a world like theirs, meeting talented and friendly people has always been a no-brainer.

So while the group had to do something that didn't need so much tension, Gabe was quite entertained talking with Max and Madison, which without him realizing it, made the young man in the black mask look at them with a reluctant expression.
