In a forest full of tall and thick trees of different kinds, there were so people moving in a certain direction.
The leader of the pack looked everywhere with vigilance. But there was a sense of pride too as if it wanted others to try and attack him.
The man was 6'1 in height with an athletic build, he had a slightly hairy face due to not being able to shave for a while.
In his hand, there was a copper-colored sword that had various chips and scratches on the blade.
"You are too aggressive, honey." A woman in her 30s said with an annoyed voice.
Even when she was in her 30s, gravity was doing nothing against her build. There were various curves in the right places making many wonder if she worked out daily.
"As I said, I am sorry... got too excited back there..." The man in the front of the pack said with the last part in a whisper.
Yet the woman didn't let go of the last part. She looked back and sighed. The sight was too great.
The four people, won and n had various bodies over their shoulders.
The bodies were normal in size and stood out to be similar to a boar yet the features were too different. The main difference was the face that was more like a deer's than a boar's.

[The dungeon is now fully cleared! The next Boss Monster will spawn in 5 days.]
[1/5 dungeon Bosses defeated! After killing 5, the dungeon will upgrade to Grade Rare.]
Lucas and the others got two more notifications after leveling up by killing the firebird.
Lucas was finally level 4 and had got three more free points that he this ti decided to put in so stats.
But everything had to be dropped for a few, even healing the shoulder of his that bled lightly.
Before they could all say sothing, a shimring sound ca from the center of the chamber. When their eyes fell on the location, they saw that the runic circle was blinking white after every second until white particles ford on top of it.
In 5 seconds, the particles had taken a shape and color of a chest.
The size of the chest was not that big, it looked like any other normal trunk. The only thing noticeably different was its wood finish and a tallic stripe just below the lid.
"Are you okay?" Ella asked in concern while supporting her husband to get up.
"Y-Yeah. I feel okay, it's just so weakness from mana overuse."
"If you say so..." Ella said with a sigh, she was not convinced if John was really okay.
"Oh! sorry to have forgotten, Lucas. I will heal you right now." Ella ca near but Lucas just smiled and pointed toward the chest that had just spawned at the Boss monster's runic circle.
"It doesn't hurt that much. Anut Ella, let's go get our rewards first hehehe..." Lucas ran with a hand on his shoulder toward the chest with many manly giggles that ca right from the butterflies in his stomach.
Lucas entered the circle and looked at the chest one last ti before he placed his hand on the handle and pulled it up.
BAM!
"Ugh..."
The lid of the chest automatically opened itself fully with pressure that made the lid hit the ground hard. Lucas had a jerk in his body with the sudden event that made his shoulder hurt from the movent.
Lucas looked inside the chest and had a frown. It wasn't what he expected in the least.
The duo also ca staggering toward the chest and looked inside. It was a rather surprising sight.
The chest's inside had two sections and in each section's top, there were so texts written just like in the system.
[Choose 1 skill out of the 7 choices each]
[Choose one weapon out of the 5 choices each]
The skill text was written on the left while the weapon part was on the right. Luas looked ahead of them and found many small rough paper sheets inside the box in both sections.
He could see the na of every skill in his mind through the system with the description.
The weapon part was the one that was the most surprising. The five weapons were not in a physical state but were shown on the sa rough small paper sheets.
"This is all too much... but I get the gist. The three of us can choose a weapon each from the right section and a skill each from the left one."
"Yeah, got it. Ella, we got to read every skill in detail. There is only one chance." John said with seriousness.
Often, having too many choices was also a poison. It makes the decision-making weak due to choosing one from the 7 present.
Lucas read through every skill with fascination, he found these choices to his liking and was excitingly looking for a skill that suited him.

"This..." John was at a loss for words.
"This is too much information but from the skills, I think that Ella has only one option that suits her completely."
"The 'Ranged Heal', right?" Ellas asked to which Lucas and John both nodded.
Ella didn't waste any more ti as things were already very complicated. She dugged her hand beyond the texts and pulled the healing skill she had the most affinity with.
After she was done, the chest shimred with white light, and a slot was gone.
"Okay, Lucas, you can go ahead. I think I already know what to take which you won't like anyway."
"Which one is it?"
"The 'Wind Arrows'."
"Figures."
Lucas went on and looked at the skills with concentration, out of the seven, two were gone leaving the five behind that he could choose from.
"Before choosing, let see the weapons too..." Lucas's gaze shifted to the other section where the five weapons were located.
