nAnother fire blast struck the spider. The spider stopped in its tracks as it let out a pained cry.
nSince the skill was on cooldown and Ryder didn't want to waste time, he ran towards the spider with his sword.
n
"Enraged Slash!
" He let out as he swung his sword at the spider whose body had stopped burning.
nThe sword struck the spider, but the spider still wasn't dead.
nHe used the flame blast again, but this time from much closer.
nThe flame blast struck the spider, which was already in pain.
nThe spider was swinging its legs madly in hopes of striking Ryder, but Ryder protected himself with his sword.
nRyder fought the Spider Queen, but he kept his eyes on its HP as well.
nAs soon as he saw that the spider had the lowest HP, he slashed his sword with full strength; the sword penetrated the body of the spider, but he didn't stop to see the result as he ran towards the coffin.
nHe slid off the top of the coffin.
nHe was stunned to find an old dried up skeleton inside the coffin. A pitch-black Scythe was in the hands of the skeleton.

nHe saw a small notification pop up nearby.
n
"Sorry bro, I don't have much time.
" He said as he extended his hand and tried pulling the Scythe. He knew that he didn't have much time.
nSince he went through the novice village before, he knew that he would be teleported in front of the novice village Elder,5 minutes after he reached level 5.
nHe only has 5 minutes to take the Scythe.
nHe kept trying, but no matter how much he tried, he couldn't take the scythe.
n
"Come on! Move!
" He screamed in anger.
nThe scythe didn't move, but something else moved.
nA weak yellow light started shining in the eye sockets of the skeleton.
nRyder noticed it and couldn't help but take a step back as he released the scythe.
nHe didn't run, though. He pointed his sword towards the Skeleton as he stood in an alert position.
n
"Will you help me fulfill my last wish?
" A voice came out of the skeleton.
nRyder was wondering what was happening when a small screen opened in front of him.
nSpecial Quest: A quest has been discovered. The mysterious skeleton wants you to fulfill his last wish.
nReward for accepting the quest: Moon Scythe.
nWill you accept the question?
nThere was a yes or no option below the question on the screen.
n
"A special quest? Come-on! At least tell me your last wish.
" Ryder said as he looked at the skeleton, but the skeleton didn't reply.
n5 minutes had almost passed away, and his body had started shining.
nWith no other choice, he clicked on 'Yes' and accepted the quest.
nHe stepped forward and pulled the Scythe again, but there was no obstruction this time.
nHe easily got the Moon Scythe this time.
nThe 5 minutes were over, and he disappeared from his position.
nRyder's surroundings changed as he appeared in the Novice Village.
nHe was standing in front of the Village Elder.
n
"Congratulations, young man. You are strong enough to leave this village.
"
nThe village Elder spoke, but Ryder's focus was on something else entirely.
nHe was looking at the notification he received after accepting the quest.
nHe was informed that he had received a new title. This information made a frown appear on his face as he knew that titles were quite rare.
nHe opened his stats to see his title.

n
"What the **?
" He almost cursed out loud as he saw his stats.
nHe couldn't understand what was happening.
n
"Successor of Salem? Was that skeleton Salem? Why have I not heard of him before?
" He muttered with a thoughtful look on his face.
nHe tapped on the title to know more about it.

n
"Such an OP title. I've had a title before, but that was nothing compared to it. This one is simply amazing.
" A smile formed on his face.
n
" Ah, Young man? Are you listening?
" The Village Elder tapped on Ryder's shoulder as he didn't get any reaction from him.
n
"Oh, right.Thanks, Elder. I'm ready to go.
" Ryder responded.
nAlthough he didn't hear a single word of the village Elder, he knew the gist of it since he went through something similar before.
n
" Good. Step on the...
" Before the elder could even complete his words, Ryder was already standing on top of a circular formation.
nThe formation started shining brightly, and Ryder disappeared.
nHe appeared in front of the entrance of his main destination. He was standing in front of the capital city of the Kingdom of Estella.
nBefore he could even take a step forward, he saw a notification.
nThe first person to leave Novice Village: 200 fame points.
nSoon after, he heard a system-wide announcement. He knew it was about to come from the moment he got that Scythe.
nFirst unique Equipment has been discovered in the world of Divinity. The Equipment Ranking is unlocked.
nRyder had checked his notification panel and saw a Ranking Section there.
