Swinging his sword for a second time, a notice suddenly rang in his head.

[Ding: Hiras ingredient gathering quest has been competed. 20 rabbits have been killed and their meat attained. Please hand in quest items to obtain your reward.]

Though by Rebirths standards the rabbits were fairly weak, he still asserted his abilities and techniques the best he could against them. If there was one important survival lesson about what not to do when facing and enemy when he was on the island, was that no matter how weak the opponent was or appeared to be, always face them with your full strength and don’t give them a chance to escape or survive. Otherwise you never knew when they would come back to hunt you.

Before leaving, Rebirth slowly took notice of the loot the rabbits dropped. In total he attain 20 pieces of rabbit meats, 20 pieces of rabbit fur, and 3 copper coins. This low drop rate for copper coins made Rebirth realized that the silver coin he received from the beginners gift box was very valuable.

In Incarnation, the money system, in ascending order in terms of value, consisted of copper coins, silver coins, gold coins and platinum coins. The standard exchange rate was 1:100. In other words 100 copper coins= 1 solver coin; 100 silver coins= 1 gold coin; and 100 gold coins = 1 platinum coin.

While walking back to town, Rebirth slowly thought back to his hunting of the rabbits earlier. With this quick fight against the rabbits, he realized that combat in game resemble a lot reality. In fact there was virtually no difference between fighting in game compare to reality.

His body moved exactly as he wanted without any problems. Furthermore, depending on what he and his opponent react to certain actions, special opportunities will be created.

For example, with the first rabbit Rebirth killed, because of the actions that the rabbit took when they fought, Rebirths attack ended up doing a lot more damage to the rabbit. The attack itself had the initial damage Rebirth would’ve caused by swinging his sword, the extra damage that the rabbit would have received depending on where the attack landed (the sword strike landed on the neck), and also the momentum the rabbit had behind its leap. All of these things resulted in the rabbit taken fatal damage from only one attack. It would take 2-3 attacks from Rebirth for a rabbit to die, and this was only because whenever he attacked the rabbit his attacks always landed on an unprotected spot. If it was another player, they would’ve needed a lot more attacks to kill the rabbit.

In addition to this, while he was fighting his 5th rabbit, he also tested the rabbits ability to take advantage of an opening. For some reason, though the 5th rabbit was also lvl 2, it was far more carful and prudent then all the other rabbits he had fought. This rabbit left his guard up the entire time, did not do any needless attacks, and was very vigilant against his opponent.

Against this rabbit, Rebirth intentionally left an opening to see what the rabbit would do. Thrusting his sword towards the rabbit, the rabbit quickly dodge it by hoping to the left. Looking at Rebirth, the rabbit realized that he had lost his balance with the last attack, so taking this opportunity it leapt towards Rebirth, attacking the opening it saw.

However, losing his balance was just an act that Rebirth put on to see what how the rabbit would react. As soon as the rabbit leapt towards him, Rebirth quickly regained his balance, and swung his sword at the neck of the rabbit.

Unlike the other rabbits, this rabbit also had an additional drop: a skill book.

[Rabbits leap: common skill. Leaps at an enemy, increasing damage by 5%. Consumes 5 mana per activation. Cannot be leveled]

The know skills in Incarnation typically are divided into 5 levels: common, uncommon, rare, unique, and epic.

Beginning from uncommon, skill levels had different mastery levels, with each mastery level providing a great boost in the skills effects. Aside from a special few common skills, most common skills level could not be increased.

Seeing that the rabbit leap skill was a common skill, and the skill description itself didn’t interest him, Rebirth decided not to learn the skill.

This small experiment with the rabbit proved to things. One was that even amongst the same monster species, without any identification, some are stronger than others. If this level 2 rabbit had continued to grow it would have undoubtedly become a fearsome monster. The second thing it proved was that the monsters in game had some back form of intelligence and are able to react to your movements.

Looking online, he found that new players often termed these rabbits as the gate keepers to Hell. At te beginning many players often died to these rabbits due to the real life fighting methods that the game implemented. Prior to Incarnation, there was no true vrmmorps. While there were some games that utilized virtual reality technology, the Ai of the in game monsters and NPCs were not very advance.

Incarnation was a true marvel of technology that allowed for there to be a lot more variance in game play than what anyone that was possible ever before.

With the new fighting methods, it was only natural that it took players a while to get used to it. In this time, being bitten to death by a rabbit was a common nightmare that new players often experienced.

“Oh, back so soon? Ah, was 20 rabbits too much? I forgot new adventurers have problem hunting rabbits...”

A charming voice roused Rebirth from his thoughts. Looking up he found that he unknowingly returned back to Hira’s restaurant.

Quickly shaking his head, Rebirth took out the 20 pieces of meat he received from the rabbits.

As Rebirth took out the rabbit meat from his inventory, he could not help but take another look at Hira. When he talked with her earlier, due to that being his first interaction with a woman in many years, he had not paid much attention to her.

Though he tried to hide it as he took out the rabbit meat, his eyes could not help but be drawn to Hiras large breasts.

“!!AH!! So quick....”Hira replied with a slightly shocked voice.

[Ding: quest has been completed. Completed rate: perfect. 200 exp received, 50 copper coins received]

Immediately following that notice, a 2nd noticed appeared in front of Rebirth informing him that he leveled up to level 1.

Looking at Hiras surprise expression, Rebirth could not help but chuckle.

Quickly regaining her composure seeing Rebirth chuckle, Hira gave a playful glare to Rebirth

“Stop laughing. I guess I can’t judge you the same way as I do other new Adventurers, most of them were barely even able to defeat 2 rabbits before abandoning my request. But you....you were able to kills those rabbits so fast....maybe if I use you, I’ll finally be able to make the rabbit breakfast I’ve always wanted to make. Can you come here very early tomorrow morning?”

[Ding: Hiras hidden quest unlocked. Restaurant owner Hira has always dreamed of proving the town of Homunculus with a rabbit breakfasts. Unfortunately to provide the best rabbit breakfast she needs the freshest rabbit meat, and she has yet to find a possible source where she can get the freshest rabbit meat so early in the morning. Hira wants you to pay her a visit early in the morning tomorrow. Do you wish to accept this hidden quest]

“Yes. I can pay you a visit tomorrow morning.”

[Ding: hidden quest Hiras morning breakfast accepted]

“Thank you. I will be sure to show you my appreciation.” Hira said with a wink while puffing our her chest.

As Hira puffed out her chest, Rebirths eye could not help but hey drawn to those amazing assets that were emphasized by the tight apron on her.

Taking a gulp, Rebirth quickly nodded while bidding goodbye to Hira.

As a person that was removed from society for many years and spend every day fighting for survival, Rebirth never actually experience his puberty, and now interacting with a mature women like Hira who where’s a tight fighting apron, that highlighted her large breast, smooth belly and long legs, Rebirth found himself often gazing at her. Therefore he decided to leave before she caught him gazing at her.

However, what he didn’t realized was that Hira had long realized he was gazing at her, so as she saw him turn around to leave with a red face, she could not help but laugh.
