MMORPG: Rise of the Peerless Pumpkinmancer

The creatures quickly revealed themselves….WTF were those?! Not rats for sure! They were to rats what cheese product was to cheese!

< Mutated Acidic Rat Being Lv 12 >

They had fur and sharp teeth, but that's pretty much where the resemblance ended.

- Motherfucking wings!

- Sharp barbed insect-like legs

- Shiny carapace protecting their vitals

- Green glow in the dark piercing eyes

- Around their fangs, acidic green saliva dripped

"Oh god, what abominations are those?! There's like freaking 50 of them too!! RUUUNNN!!" The monk cried out, darting away.

"Acidic Rat Beings….apparently." In Jack's voice, there wasn't any fear at all.

"Woo!" (Bring it on!)

The little wolf started the assault! While the creatures were charging at them, it waved its paw, akin to a godly wolf emperor. Along with its command, fiery chickens spawned right above the enemies.

They exploded right in their midst, making their fur burn quickly, the light reflecting on the shiny carapace parts.

"W-what the hell?!" The shellshocked monk was frozen. What kind of legendary pet was this?!

"Great job! Just be careful not to burn the pumpkins." Jack reminded as he sent a torrent of fiery destruction, the creatures shrieking as they burned.

— Anguished Shrieks! —

The World-Devouring-Chicken (WDC) hopped forward not to be outdone as it witnessed the two pyromaniacs at work.

WDC used vengeful Peck! It's not very effective….

WDC used bony wing bitch-slap! It's not very effective either…

"Since they have a carapace, you have to target the weak points. Reach inside and dig the soft flesh out." Jack instructed.

The undead chicken quickly got to work, using its sharp bony talons to pry open the pesky armor and finally reaching the opponent's weak spot.

Meanwhile, the creature kept sending green blobs at it. The acid was a deadly one that corroded the flesh and muscles instantly!

#Skeleton OP #404 Flesh Not Found!

"Cluck!! Shriek!" (Get Wrecked!!)

Jack was akin to a Flameburst Tower in the back as he sent fireball after fireball.

This event should have been damn near impossible for a player fresh out of the Tutorial. But for him? Easier than baking a cake!

- He wasn't level 10 as most newcomers, but level 15!

- The Power of E-Rank Flame Manipulation was shown in all its freaking glory!

- As for the Mana…he was burning that sweet red mana bar (HP) like there was no tomorrow!

"Hehe, burn you shitty cockroaches! If you think you'll be touching my goddamn pumpkins, then you're sorely mistaken!!!" He cackled loudly.

On the side, the monk watched the show, his maw almost touching the ground. The creatures had utterly given up fighting and were being one-sidedly roasted!

What kind of impossible power was this?!

It didn't take long for a human, wolf, and chicken to trample upon the charred remains of their opponents.

"Woo!" (Excited!)

Now came the best part of the fight; it was time to collect the meat! Moon Moon happily clawed at the creatures, something it had learned from its master.

The things' flesh was purplish and gave a weird smell— not that it would stop the curious creature. It took a small bite, only for its face to twist in pain and regret. So bitter!

"I don't think they're edible. If you eat enough of them, you may just gain a weak poison resistance skill, but it could as well kill you before." Jack explained.

"Woo!" (Complaining!)

This was such a waste! What kind of horrible god had created creatures with toxic meat! This was pure heresy!!

As for rewards, 3 XP may seem lacking, but the XP requirements had gone down. To reach level 10, it had taken 10 000 XP, but now it required 2 560 XP to reach level 16.

That much was to be expected: that's how the system dealt with XP inflation.

"Good job, you two!" Jack praised, giving headpats as rewards.

It was quite silly to see a skeleton draw its tiny head closer. It couldn't even feel the warmth, and it was simply copying its wolf big brother.

"W-who the fuck are you?! Wait… a wolf! You, you're…." Jack gave a small smile. It seemed that his reputation preceded him. "You're Dark Wolf Master!!!"

Come again? Who the fuck was that bloke? Jack's pride suddenly deflated like a balloon. Wasn't the orange fucking wolf telling enough?! Ah, whatever.

He completely ignored the man as he headed for the door.

— Knock! Knock! —

This time the owner didn't wait and opened the door in a rush. She seemed to be sighing to herself as if expecting this to happen.

"Hurry up if you don't want to be rat shit!" She powerfully ordered.

While she looked unapproachable at first, there was still a hint of concern hidden behind her stern face. She wouldn't let the youngsters die simply for overestimating their capabilities.

"What the hell are you standing there for, you—?!" but then her beautiful face suddenly showed extreme shock.

The monstrous creatures? All dead! Their corpses were strewn all over the pumpkin field, some still burning.

"H-how?!" She glanced at the two in disbelief.

But then she realized that the half-naked guy was as overwhelmed as she was. This meant that this man had defeated them alone?!

"Y-you did this?" She softly asked, as if worried she'd suddenly wake up.

"Yep, along with my mighty helpers!" Jack winked.

"Woo!"

"Cluck! Shriek!"

Those two puny creatures? They were barely the size of a single rat, as if! He had defeated a few dozen of them alone?! Even now, it felt unreal!

He gazed her way with a smile as gentle as spring, his eyes glittering like a warm sun. In those dark eyes of his, she could feel bottomless desire.

"About our deal…." He softly uttered.

It's only then that she remembered. As long as he protected her farm, she would let him do whatever he wanted with her pumpkins.

Attentive, handsome, powerful, and even humble! This young hero had gone out of his way, all for her sake! She even felt his throbbing desire…

At this moment, she couldn't help but gulp as her complexion turned an enchanting rosy red. She mustered her courage.

"I-I'll obviously honor my word. You can do what you mean with my b-" She was about to say body but suddenly froze.

The young hero gave an enchanting smile as he instantly turned tail, heading for the pumpkin patch. He didn't even give her a look!

W-what?!

"Alright, Moon Moon and Chicky, let's get to work!" He sat on the ground, gesturing his pets to do the same.

"Today, we'll practice an ancestral art known as pumpkin carving! You want to take your claws and delicately tear the skin to create art. Here, let me show you an example!"

Just like that, he began carving a goddamn pumpkin!

He was out there in the field while she stood shellshocked in the farmhouse's entrance. She suddenly questioned her charm. He had meant literal pumpkins?!

A distance away, the monk was equally frozen. He had been ready to celebrate this new brother's glorious success.

He quite liked the guy, for he hadn't told him to fuck off yet. He was probably the only one that didn't mind being followed by a half-naked dude.

But what the heck was this?! This guy had the opportunity to get that ultimate bombshell of an NPC, and he was there carving pumpkins?!

Was this guy dense, or was he just a freaking god?!

As he carved, Jack made sure to turn his best profile toward the farmhouse. But even then, he mainly focused on his task.

This new legend would start with one tiny pumpkin…
