He looked for any weapons on their bodies but it seems someone already took their weapons. Ryan sighed and entered the forest. A fog that so thick it won't even allow to let you see what's near you even in a 2 meter radius is there and the constant hissing sounds that can intimidate awakeners. This is the worst situation for an awakener who just entered the tower.
But the exp that you can grind from here is also very large. Ryan grinned and activated presence detection. He felt 3 serpants, one is near him in a distance of 10 meters waiting to claim him as it's prey. Other two are 90 meters away. Ryan activated the spirit eye. Now he can see clearly for a 10 meter radius.
The serpant hissed around him and tried to an ambush to bite him. But Ryan didn't give it a chance and moved to the side while using his dagger to stab it's eye. The serpant hissed in pain loudly. But Ryan didn't even spare a glance he ducked dodging it's tail attack and jumped, avoiding it's coil to crush his body.
Ryan then stretched his palm and activated the fire ball skill. A fire ball of 1 m diameter hurled towards the serpant and hit it's face. The serpant hissed loudly in pain and Ryan didn't waste anytime he fired another fireball into it's mouth and blasted it's head to pieces. It's scales are not something he can penetrate with the dagger he is using. So he needs to be careful.

[ Exp +12%, +80 coins ]

Ryan frowned as he sensed the two serpants moving towards his direction. Two year signatures are moving towards him at an astonishing speed. Ryan fired a fire ball and used wind boost to follow behind that fire ball. As that fire ball obstructed their thermal vision he used dagger to stab their eyes and dug the dagger into their brains when they opened their mouths.
The other serpant also rushed in to bite him but Ryan jumped and grabbed it's neck while it swung around to get rid of him. Ryan stabbed it's other eye completely blinding it before throwing a fireball and leaping off the serpant. He landed on the ground and panted slightly as an explosion sounded.
The 2 serpants died :

Ryan moved forward and saw bodies on the ground. He frowned and goes to them, generally serpants won't leave bodies. They will swallow the bodies as food. And using thermal vision he detected they died not long ago. Ryan felt a chil and used wind boost to get out of the position. A dagger slashed through air where he stood.
Without hesitation he used a fire ball on that person. As the fireball reached the person he dodging it but his hand is burned. He turned around and tried to run but Ryan used another fireball and a scream resounded in the forest attracting the serpants.
Ryan jumped and stabbed the assassin's neck without hesitation and killed him. He killed the assassin and grabbed his dagger and checked for anything useful. That guy has a space pouch. Ryan smirked and threw his bag into the space pouch. He then stripped that guy's light weight armour and clothes.
Grabbing them he sensed the serpants arriving at numbers here. Throwing everything into the space pouch he activated wind boost and ran towards the safe zone. As he arrived there, he saw the team of 5 players that have the high level equipment once again entering the toxic forest. They cast a look at his space pouch and then didn't even glance at him.
Ryan changed into new clothes from space pouch and took a look at the new skill he got from the assassin :
[ Stealth
Rank : C
Effects :
- grants invisibility effect to the player, invisibility disappears once user attacker someone or get injured ]
That's a decent one. Stealth is normally for assassins and scouts. Ryan exhaled deeply and looked into the pouch there is some water and food there. He checked if it's poisoned and ate it. After taking some rest he looked at the toxic forest again. Entering it he sensed some awakeners tailing him.
Smirking he used stealth and disappeared. The awakeners that's been tailing him looked around and asked themselves," where is he? "," did he run away?"," maybe he detected us? "," hah what a waste? We can't get his space pouch? ".
