Solo Player Arvin

Arvin wanted battle gear very badly. When Arvin was spending his time in the Kalga forest, killing any living being on sight, he faced a major problem. That problem was his clothes. They were too fragile. Arvin remembered that once when he was fighting a bear, those bear claws were so sharp that cut his clothing like it was a piece of butter. Plus most clothes that he had would get very dirty when running, falling, and sleeping on the ground.

Seeing Arvin's problem, Loki suggested he buy battle gear. Battle gear is essentially anything that a warrior uses. From knives to armor, everything comes under battle gear. What Arvin needed was special armor clothes for the warrior. Special armor clothes are made for warriors with the hard and sturdy leather of Ranked beasts of the forest. Although these clothes tend to get dirty now and then, they cant be easily torn or cut.

That is why when he had a chance he asked for battle gear from the upper floors as those gear were bound to have armored clothes. With these top-quality clothes, Arvin was elated that now he did not have to worry about clothes being cut or torn…

Arvin took out the clothes from the cloth sack and inspected them carefully. Although this black vest had a leathery texture and was soft on touch, still Arvin could feel that this cloth is impenetrable. It was weird how he could feel it, but he had the feeling. His pants were not made of the same material as the vest, it was also very sturdy. Then there was the golden yellow mask.

Arvin didn't like the mask as it was too shiny. It grabbed too much attention. But still, he didn't dislike it. It looked cool and there was nothing that could not be covered with some black paint and a little bit of hard work…

"The second master brought this battle gear for young master Harry. But as he had now passed away these clothes are sort of useless. So the old master gave you this battle gear. And as you already own a high-grade knife from the upper floor, you will be given no weapon." The elder said. After hearing what the elder said, Arvin remembered the knife that the old man was using. It was still in his inventory.

"What's up with the mask?" Arvin asked.

"Nothing much. I thought you could use it after using a little bit of black paint." The elder said.

"Ok," Arvin replied.

"What about the bomb? When it will be ready?" Terumi asked the elder.

"Well, Alice and her friends will come back today after their search for that boy Lopt. Old master will talk to her about the bomb after they all come back. After all of them had rested enough he will talk to Alice about it. According to my estimation, the bomb will be ready in 4 days." The elder replied

"Then after the bomb is ready, discreetly send that bomb to Josh's old house in the Bonie village. I will pick the bomb from there." Arvin said.

"Han, will you able to pull off this mission on your own? Will, you do not need any backup?" Terumi asked.

"No. I alone would be just fine. If I need any help, my Corgan will contact you." Terumi asked.

"A lot of things are dependent on your mission. Please be careful." The elder said...

"And Han, do I need to remind you that our target is Cross family and not Alman," Terumi said.

"I know that…" Arvin said. But he was also confused as to why Terumi said this to him.

"We all know what history you have with Alman. He killed your son in front of you. But as the leader of the ghost faction, I have to remind you that he is a member of one of the prominent tribes on the 3rd floor. We could not offend that tribe or otherwise who knows whether Cullen family will be able to see tomorrow's sun. You understand that right?" Terumi said.

"Yes. I understand that. Now if you would excuse me, I have to do some things to prepare before I take off." Arvin said while putting back everything in the cloth sack. Then he looked at Terumi and said…

"Do not forget to act that you don't like my idea."

"I don't like your idea."

"You don't even know what is my idea."

"That is why I don't like it," Terumi replied.

"…"

Arvin then without any word, went out of the office. As he went out he saw there were two paths in front of him. One on the right was the one from which he came while the other one was unknown. Arvin started walking on the unknown path. After walking for a minute or so, that path got led to some stairs. Arvin climbed up the chair to find a wall which from his little push opened up.

Arvin found himself in the secluded area in the garden of the Cullen estate. He stood there and observed for a minute to see whether there was someone out there or not. As he saw that there was no one around, he transformed into a Corgan and flew away from that place. As he transformed he straight away flew towards the part of the inner-city where Josh's old house was located.

Just adjacent to Josh's old house was a secluded alley. There Arvin dropped the body of old man Han's body with his head. After dropping the body, Arvin flew towards Josh's house. As he flew towards the house he saw that there was no one in the house. As Arvin knew that he didn't have enough mana to support his transportation he flew back to his inn.

…

A lot of things transpired today. Arvin needed a break as he got to his room in the inn. He gained some profit as he was transformed into that old man. He got fabulous battle armor from the Cullen family with no strings attached. Then he also found out where Josh was. But now he was facing a dilemma about what he should do about the quests that Hela gave him.

But to plan and plot about how he was going to solve his quest problem, Arvin had a lot of time. So he focused on one thing that he needed to do right now. That was to check out battle gear. When Arvin learned about the rune and found that rune on Alman's safe, he promised himself to always check the things in the future. When he was at Cullen's estate he didn't have time. But as he did have time, he sends his mana into his eyes and checked the battle gear.

Arvin could see a simple rune flickering in all the items that he got from the elder. He could feel that these runes were not as powerful as the one that he found on Alman's safe. Arvin had read that the reason for this disparity could be because the rune caster was not skilled enough…

Arvin then started using his mana to erase the runes. He didn't want anyone finding out that this was his inn. Then as he was finished erasing the runes, he lied down because of overusing his mana. It was then Arvin asked Loki…

'Hey Loki, what do I have to do to become acolyte?'
