"Really! Does that mean she'll be crushing enemies from the sky!" Remey had grand visions of midnight swooping down and crushing skeletons before they could act.

"I would believe her wings would need time to developed. We should make sure we save skeletons bones for her. Maybe they hold the right nutrients. My mother always told me my body is strong because I drank a lot of milk as a child." Su used her logic skills trying to decipher the reasoning and to also ground Remeys imagination.

"Hmm this may have been a blessing in disguise that we chose this place to travel to. Not only will we level up but midnight is also finding nutritious foods. Well not that I'd call bones food." Walker laughed at his little joke.

" not to rain on everyone's parade but does anyone want to explain how my daily quest just gave me an agility point for dodging an undead enemies attacks at the last minute fifteen times?" Gil was still amazed and skeptical of this daily quest. He'd heard only master systems could reward stat points for quests.

"Wait you got an agility point? I only got a passive skill. Pfft whatever I'll just have to hit you harder." Remey hadn't devilish grin " my hits ignore two defense stat points now." Remey cracked her knuckles for added effect.

"Hmm add on su's quest to take hits and gain poison resistance and my magic attacks to gain a magic attack stat point." Walker was connecting the dots. "It seems the system daily quests have us actions to help train us against these enemies. The hero title has really changed and even pushes us to grow. I would be willing to bet midnights quest was to beat that skeleton and eat the bones. I mean why else would she ignore what I said and immediately attack it?"

After walker connected these dots faces or realization appeared on everyone. "I feel like we are cheating. The systems are basically pushing us in the right direction every time." Gil felt they would be invincible after not too long.

"You can't rely on it. That was just a test that you scouted out. If it was a huge swarm we would have been overwhelmed the way we all fought alone." Su saw the arrogance spawn in Gils eyes and quickly brought him down to the earth again.

"Su is right, we had intended to test some things out and that's exactly what the system quests helped us with. Now we need to utilize what we just learned. Think of it this way, if Su has poison resistance doesn't that lead you to believe the zombies rotting flesh could poison us?" Walkers words began opening their eyes. " Gil your quest revolves dodging so there may be traps of close encounters a scout needs to avoid. Remey you gained some piercing power passive is it not a long shot to say we may face some tough defense based opponents? What about my magic? Does that mean my new spell needed more strength to defeat what we will encounter? Even midnights growth shows us that she needed to get stronger before we went forward."

The weight of walkers deductions fell on everyone. This the planning had truly begun. This young inexperienced party had just taken its first step in to the realm of true adventurers. So far they had a lot of luck but properly collecting Information and using it critically was a skill often learned over time. Veteran adventurers of weaker tiers often outlived those who Shot up the rankings early due to this exact reason.

After an hour or so of deliberation the party had caught up to an adequate understanding of what dangers they may face entering the ruins.

"We should set out base camp and prepare for tomorrow we'll be heading in to the real ruins right?" Gil chimed in after they'd all reached understanding.

"Sounds like a plan to me" walker got up. He's pulled out the egg while they rested and it glowing softly. Walker could feel a warmth through his connection with it. "Hey midnight can you guard your sibling while we set up?" Midnight was delighted to be given such a job and quickly curled her self around the egg while still allowing it to bathe in the light.

The remainder of the day passed quickly and soon they were all left in the quiet of the night. Walker had stored the egg away after they had all eaten. This would be their last real test before starting their plans to gain massive amounts of exp.

Walker had taken the first night watch and was trying to be as vigilant as possible. Now that things were silent through their little camp he noticed distant moans or sudden clattering sounds. These sounds would echo off the ancient stone buildings and rubble. One thing was sure, he would not rest peacefully thinking of the grotesque undead in the dark.

Soon walker had switched with Gil and later Gil with Su and so forth. When morning came walker made sure to be the first awake so the egg could see the first light of the day. He could feel the warmth of the sun washing away the terrifying sounds of the night. It was time to start their test for real!

Once everyone had risen they ate light so they could stay focused. The cano was easily broken down. The seat before when Gil had gone to scout and lure back some enemies he'd glimpsed a town square. The plan was to lure as many undead as possible there and release walkers evil consuming flames. Then after those wore off everyone would finish off the remaining undead in the area and start again.

They would divide in to pairs leaving Su in the square. Her job would be to taunt the ones the others lured there. Su would then move in circles using some crumbled buildings to ensure distance between her and their man made swarm.

Walker pulled his staff from his inventory, "let's go to that square and start luring in our prey." His serious aura radiated to the others. They were ready!
