”You don’t have to whisper, they don’t know we call them NPC, and…” Alex stopped as he saw someone.

Gabriel turned around and look toward where Alex was staring and saw an NPC.

“That guy is a level 3 NPC, he’s the hunter I saw in the merchant shop earlier, I’m going to kill him and level up”

“Didn’t you just say he’s level 3, how are you going to kill him?’ Gabriel asked.

“I’m an Assassin, it’s easy for me to do stuff like that, it’s like I was trained to kill NPCs,” Alex said as he followed the NPC.

“It’s almost nighttime here, I wonder if it’s also nighttime in the real world,” Gabriel said as they both followed the NPC.

The hunter NPC finally reached his destination, he walked into a small house at the end of the village, and a man was at the door of the house.

“There’s a security man at that house, they must be guarding something important in there,” Alex said.

“We should try and see if we can get in”

“I don’t think that’s a good idea, I saw two guys trying to get into a building by force, they were killed immediately,” Alex told Gabriel.

“Then how do we get in?”

“We should dress up as NPCs, they can’t differentiate between players and NPCs if we all dress the same”

“So we buy NPC clothes or we steal them,” Gabriel said and looked around.

Few NPCs roam the street, it was partially empty as it was night already, and only players who were playing for the first time, or players who haven’t exited the newbie village were still roaming around.

“We should check different houses, oh look at that one, he’s still outside his house, maybe he’s waiting for someone” Alex pointed towards a man.

The man was standing in front of a medium-sized house, there was a chair outside but he chose to stand, a white light was hung in front of the house but it did little to brighten the whole house.

“We should approach him and be friendly” Alex smirked and walked towards the man.

“Hi,” Alex said as he got close to the man.

“Hi, how are you doing?”

“We are fine, you look tired and there’s a chair over there,” Alex said.

“Oh, thanks for your concern but I’m fine, I’m waiting for my partner, we are going to a party,” the man said.

“You are going to a party, how nice”

“I would have invited you guys, but the party is strictly confidential, you need a pass to get in”

“A pass…”

The man slid his hands into his pocket and he brought out a shiny pass card from his pocket, it was as small as an ID card. The man showed it to Alex and Gabriel before putting it back in.

“We’ll wait for his partner, then we kill them both” Alex whispered in Gabriel’s ears and he nodded in response.

“So where are you guys going to, it’s night time won’t you find a place to rest, sometimes wolves enter into the village at night”

“But you are standing outside waiting for your partner, aren’t you afraid a wolf attacked her,” Gabriel said.

“Not at all, I’ve only heard the rumors, I’m not sure they are true I just want to scare you guys” the man laughed.

The three of them heard footsteps and turn sideways and a beautiful woman was standing there with a smile on her face.

“Hi love,” the man said and walked towards her.

“Hi, are you ready to go…are they your friends?” the lady asked while staring at Alex and Gabriel.

“I just met them, I’m ready let’s leave now,” the man said.

Alex and Gabriel looked around to make sure no one was looking at them, Alex had already brought out his dagger and hid his hands behind his back.

“Bye guys,” the man said and the couple wanted to walk away when Alex touched the man. The man turned around and Alex smiled at him.

“Is something wrong?” the man asked before he heard muffled sounds behind him.

He turned around and saw Gabriel holding his girlfriend while she was struggling, he shouted at Gabriel but before he could do anything his throat was slit.

[You’ve killed Andrew!]

[You’ve earned 30 XP!]

Alex slid his hands into the man’s pocket and took the pass before the man turned into pixel and faded away.

The woman struggled with all her might but Gabriel wasn’t bulging, she was just a level 1 NPC so of course, Gabriel was stronger than her.

Alex handed the dagger over to Gabriel and without wasting time he slit the throat of the lady.

[You’ve killed Anna!]

[You’ve earned 30 XP!]

The message appeared in front of Gabriel and he smiled brightly, one more NPC and he was going to level up.

Gabriel looked down and saw the item, the lady dropped only her dress, she wasn’t with anything else, while Alex on the other hand found 20 coins.

“We only have one male clothes, how are we going to enter that house?” Gabriel asked.

“His house…” Alex said and both of them walked towards the man’s house.

Alex opened the door and both of them walked in, the house was too dark for Alex or Gabriel to see very well.

Still, they walked into the darkness searching for where his clothes were kept.

A blue faint light shined behind Alex and he turned around to see what Gabriel found, but it was Gabriel’s status page.

“Source of light…” Gabriel said with a smile making Alex to laugh.

“What are you guys doing?” a voice said behind them, making both of them freeze.
