Supreme Archer: Taking The Game's Weakest Class To The Top

The dungeons near starting points were constantly swarmed by players, mostly newbies.

It wasn't just because The Legend Enigma Online was the most popular game in the world, but also because high-level players would come here with their second or even third characters to level up them.

They knew tricks and the dungeons' secrets, so it was like a walk in the park for them.

The first dungeons, however, had a peculiar nickname in the community—the lawless zone.

Newbies would taste the world without NPCs and their rules—it was only them and the monsters there. For that reason, many players would expose their real selves or do things they would never do outside the dungeon or in real life.

It wasn't too much to say that dungeons turned players into monsters.

Although Jake hadn't heard this much about the dungeons, he had enough experience from other games to know that he could be targeted just because of his class, companions, or just because he was alone.

He was the easiest player to kill and have fun with, at least in the appearance.

"If your cooldown gets triggered, we'll deal with our enemies first. I'll then head alone to the dungeon and mine whatever I can in this one-hour interval," Jake told his summons.

They nodded at him.

Jake decided not to hide them.

It was the first significant journey outside the capital, so Jake wanted to bond with his companions. He also liked having them on himself while they were still so little.

He couldn't waste their precious low-level time.

At last, he was in the forest's cradle. It was a dangerous zone, so Jake had taken out his previous monkey boss's set and put it on, leaving only his face bare. It was because Aaron told him that the design of the Joker Mask had turned out so well that it'd gather too much attention.

Jake wanted to check the dungeon's situation before drawing any eyes to himself—at least, he tried to avoid as much attention as possible.

Wielding his new bow, Jake went deeper into the forest.

This place was famous, so without Mary and Robert's help, Jake wasn't that much bothered by monsters. A few of them had growled at him and threatened to kill him, but Jake's Soldier Form was enough to put them down.

"Wow! The whistle sounds so different, like colder… I can't tell the difference yet!" Jake exclaimed upon shooting his arrows at monsters. He kinda wished for more of them to come at him so he could listen more to his arrows' melody.

The Headless Hunter was truly an exquisite piece of a weapon! It was so meticulously done that everything about it stirred and inspired Jake's heart.

He really wanted to see through the red bowstring and what material was used to create it.

Meanwhile, Wukong had left Jake's nest and ran around the forest to pick up Jake's arrows. Jake's stats were so good, and so were his weapons and arrows, that the latter didn't even break upon inflicting heavy damage on monsters.

It was Wukong's job to pick them up!

Jake smiled warmly at his monkey companion, "Thank you, as usual, Wukong. We will leave bodies alone. Their drop currently does not interest us."

Wukong nodded.

Their march continued.

Jake and a few players had exchanged glances. He couldn't tell whether they were surprised to see an archer doing so well alone in the forest or his companions had caught their interest. So long as no one attacked him, Jake would smile at anyone.

He wasn't here to fight others.

That said, Jake's first summon—Odin—was as popular with ladies as usual.

"Ah, so cute doggo!" shouted a female player upon noticing Odin's muzzle. She couldn't have stopped herself from approaching and asking Jake whether she could pet him.

Odin already lolled out his tongue in approval.

Jake shrugged and extended his hands forward while holding Odin. He didn't let him go. The female player wasn't alone, so a few more players surrounded Jake.

The group had six members. Two of them were female—the other one had joined Jake's front and already had been caressing Odin's smooth fur.

The rest were men, so they questioned Jake in a friendly banter.

"Are you a beast tamer? I haven't seen any monkeys or snakes in those areas!"

"There's also a little eagle! So small, like a toy! Where did you get them, and how?"

"Yeah, I heard beast tamers have it too difficult."

Jake chuckled, "I was lucky to meet them in the neighboring provinces. Yeah, beast taming is difficult, but it's so rewarding once a bond is created."

He didn't want to explain his summoning skills, and beast tamer subclass was a convenient excuse to avoid his secrets being laid bare to others.

That was when the female player cast a dazzling smile at him.

She said, "Join us! I'd love to clear a dungeon with your doggo! Pretty please! It will be so much fun!"

It would have been difficult for any other man to refuse this girl. She was so cute and also well-endowed for her age, which she didn't seem to really understand. Her natural actions were dangerous to the opposite gender of her age.

Meaning her teammates must have been either used to it or enjoyed it wholeheartedly.

Jake smiled and shook his head, "I'm gonna mine in the dungeon. I'll slow down anyone, so I don't want to team up with others. Thanks for the offer, though!"

"Pleaseeeee~~"

The girl didn't give up. She made puppy eyes and brought herself closer to Jake. It was quite a view that even Jake couldn't help but get interested in.

Alas, it wasn't enough to convince him.

He smiled and took a step back.

Which was enough to break the girl's sweet appearance.

She stomped on the ground with an angry face and pouted, "Fine! Okay! Hmph! Have fun mining all alone! Hmph! Boring loner!"

She turned around and left the group.

Her party ran after her.

Jake stared ahead with squinted eyes and thought aloud, "A spoiled girl, huh. Not everyone's gonna give in to your whims just because you have a lot to breathe with."

Jake sneered and changed his direction.
