"Its time to send a message" Lumen spoke to the others after he had finished scavenging the bodies of the dead archers. At first they were a little confused, wondering what he meant by sending a message. But when they saw his next actions, they couldn't help turn their heads away from him with a few gags coming out of them. "You three go and give Shivi a proper burial while I deal with these three corpses here." Lumen gave the others a suggestion rather than an order as he could tell that they…-

Lumen thought as he ran in a straight line over all of the foliage towards the last remaining archer. ------------ Taketa, the last remaining archer thought to himself as he ran and ran, not even bothering to look back at the pursuing Qu Quan. Taketa had been one of the people who had entered the tutorial with Michael, yes with him. For some reason the system didn't explain, Michael and Taketa had been taken from their place of business together and had landed in the tutorial in the same…

Jake turned his head towards Qu Quan who was the source of the gasping sound. What he saw left him in as much shock as the others. Shivi stood there, looking around at Qu Quan, Jake and the others with a confused look on his face as if to say 'What's all the fuss about??' However, before he could put the question into words, he fell to the ground motionless. Shivi's body lay there with an arrow embedded in his skull with the tip peaking out on the other side. His left eye being nothing more…

The atmosphere was very tense between the two groups, one largely outnumbering the other. Will seemed to be in a dilemma here, he did not look at all like his previous confident self and he did not look at all like he wanted to respond positively to Michael's 'invitation'. One the one hand, if he joined he would be in a much safer environment but he would also lose the trust of his team mates as they would most probably feel betrayed. He had developed a sort of bond through shared experience with the…

The big burly man named Michael stood there waiting for Will to come back, only showing the frown on his face for a moment before it returned back to it's usual 'kind' smile. Will may not have noticed the sudden change in expression on the man, but Lumen was in constant alert mode and so didn't miss Michael's reactions to Will's words. It seemed he was the only one of his group who had noticed it as well as everyone else had their eyes trained on the members of Michael's group behind him. Lumen was…

The group camped out in the clearing for the night, with Lumen offering to be the lookout for the whole night. Everyone wanted to offer to do some night watch as well but Lumen ignored all of their offers and complaints and insisted that he was the one to look out for any enemies. They relented after a short moment of persuasion by Lumen, who simply said that none of them could do a better job of looking out than him. Remembering the night prior, the others couldn't help but swallow their words and…

The hunting ordeal only took a little under 10 minutes, with the last 5 minutes being added by Will who needed a longer time to accumulate mana and kill his deer beast. Lumen did not get any credits or experience for the kills as he hadn't needed to participate once in the whole fight, which was good progress for the group as if this was the day before, he would have needed to intervene at multiple points. He seemed to take notice of everyone's strong points, as well as their weak points as he made a…

Lumen and the group set out after they had packed up all of their things. The inventory was really a lifesaver as without it they would never be able to carry so many things. Their current location was compromised and although the small pond could be used to attract any beasts in the vicinity, the efficiency of that was too low as it could take days before another one showed up. They preferred to go looking for beasts to hunt themselves. Their initial plan of finding a water and food source to camp…

Lumen's proficiency in his skill had seen a great increase from his battle against other humans than compared to fighting those two beasts before. First of all, his proficiency in his spear mastery had gone from 6% all the way up to 27.5%, a stark increase of 21.5%! His footwork had taken even more of an increase, with it sitting currently at 33%, up from the previous 5%. Clearly battle against humans provided more proficiency in skills, which Lumen could guess the reason was that they were sentient…

The group listened to Lumen's words seriously before all succumbing to their exhaustion and finally getting some rest in their tents. They didn't even have the energy to put someone on watch duty as they were all too tired to sit there and keep a look out for hours on end after what had just happened. At most, they hoped that the 8 dead bodies littered around the camp would be enough to deter any other people or beasts who took a curiosity in approaching their camp. They group didn't even have any…
