Entering Apocalypse in Easy-Mode

Clyde looked at the list of Quests and immediately chose the one with the highest rank.

That is Rank B.

It seems that on this first day the highest rank of Quest only reached Rank B.

"Are you sure?" the woman showing the Quest asked with that unnatural cheerful tone. Clyde was almost certain that she wasn't human.

"Are you sure, Clyde?!" Sonya approached and asked in a surprised tone.

"Of course. With that, we can get the best possible reward."

"But I'm not sure that I can help complete this Quest."

"You don't have to worry. We'll do it together."

Clyde's words made Sonya feel relieved. Although she knew beforehand that Clyde would indeed say that.

"I'll take the difficult part."

After adding that, Clyde nodded in agreement once again to the woman with the dark glasses.

The woman said nothing and nodded. Another screen appeared confirming that Clyde had successfully taken the Quest.

"When the Quest is completed, the reward will be received immediately. Since this is a Hunting Quest, the quest will be completed when you finish killing the target," said the woman.

"Okay."

The woman walked out of the motel and then disappeared into the shadows.

Rainn, Sonya, and Asqa looked back at the screen showing the details of the Quest.

<<Quest>>

[ Quest Category: Hunting Quest. ]

[ Clear Condition: Hunt down Silver Lunar Wolf. ]

[ Rank: B ]

[ Time: Sunrise. ]

[ Reward: B-grade Equipment, 300 Coins. ]

"Are you ready?" Clyde asked.

He saw Sonya nod. But Asqa who was behind Sonya looked unsure.

"Asqa, are you afraid?" asked Clyde.

Asqa did not immediately answer.

Instead, she bit her lip nervously.

She didn't want to be a burden to them so she had to try to fight too.

But all this was too scary for her.

Monsters, death.

Asqa still can't get rid of her fears and get used to it all.

"You have to be tough," Clyde said, looking at Asqa.

"The world you know no longer exists. If you want to survive, you have to try and strengthen yourself. You understand?"

Hearing Clyde's words, Asqa's body suddenly straightened, almost stiff. Her eyes were on Clyde. Asqa swallowed her saliva.

"A-Alright," Asqa said.

Clyde nodded curtly then went inside to retrieve his robe.

After that, he walked out of the motel. Asqa and Sonya followed behind.

'Was I being too hard on her just now?' Clyde thought about his words just now.

Clyde sighed. He just wanted Asqa to be stronger. What he had told her earlier was the actual situation.

Clyde couldn't say that everything would be fine even with his power. Because he wasn't sure he could protect Asqa forever in a dire situation.

In the beginning, his intention was just to make use of her healing ability.

One thing Clyde learned in his life is that nothing always goes smoothly.

At some point, eventually, there's bound to be something that messes things up.

That's why Clyde tried to prepare everything once they were still in the early stages.

By taking the Quest with the highest Rank, he could get the best rewards at this stage.

Even with the easiest mode, Clyde still thought of making his preparation well.

Because he thought that later there would be circumstances where he would also find it difficult even with easy mode.

Once the three of them got outside the motel, the moon shone brighter than usual.

Clyde looked up, the moon was perfectly in full round shape.

Suddenly the air turned cold. The wind was blowing a little bit stronger, fluttering Clyde's black coat.

"What happened?" asked Sonya anxiously. Something must be going on right now.

Abruptly, a roar rang out from every corner of the city. Clyde, Sonya, and Asqa looked in all directions looking for the source of the sound.

"That sounds like a wolf's howls!" said Sonya.

"Well, the Quest details say that we have to hunt a monster called the Silver Lunar Wolf," said Clyde.

Sonya looked at him. Is that true? Sonya didn't remember because she only skimmed through it.

Clyde drew his sword. "Let's find the Wolf!"

Sonya pulled out her bow from the Inventory and followed Clyde.

Sonya also held Asqa's hand which was beside her.

Honestly, Sonya felt sorry for the girl. She didn't look like someone who could endure a situation like this at all.

Asqa was busy biting her lip and looking around her with eyes that explained fear.

But what can she do? Clyde's words were true.

She had to be able to get herself stronger if she wanted to survive in a world that had become like this.

The three of them headed in the direction the wolf's roar came from.

Clyde suddenly stopped in place leaving Sonya and Asqa confused.

However, their confusion was soon cleared.

On the roof of an abandoned shop, there was a wolf with silver and sharp fur like a big needle standing.

The wolf fur that looks like it's made of glass reflects the moonlight making it seem glowing.

The wolf was about the size of an SUV. Its eyes were blue and also seemed to glow.

[ Inspection (Lv.3) is activated! ]

Once Clyde used Inspection he was able to see the stats of the monster.

<<<Monster Information>>>

[ Name: Silver Lunar Wolf. ]

[ Affiliation: Lunar Monster. ]

[ Level: 5 ]

[ Skill: Frostclaw (Lv.3), Frozen Fur (Lv.3) ]

[ Stats: Strength (3), Stamina (3), Agility (5), Magic Power (2) ]

[ Weakness: Fire. ]

[ Affinity: Ice Attributes. ]

[ Rating: B (C) ]

[ Private Attribute Effect Activated! ]

Clyde smiled.

With his Private Attribute, he didn't have to worry too much.

The monster's rating has changed from B to C, which means all of its Stats have also dropped.

Clyde turned to Sonya. "Attack it from afar. I'll attack from up close."

"You can't beat that monster on your own like before?" asked Sonya.

"Maybe this one will be a little difficult."

Clyde didn't feel that this would be difficult for him. He just had to make sure that Sonya's fighting ability was good enough.

Clyde immediately advanced toward the monster.

Sonya pulled her bowstring and an arrow was created.

"What should I do?" asked Asqa in a worried tone.

"Uhh..." Sonya was confused about what to answer. "Just hide."

Asqa immediately ran to find a place to hide.

Sonya looked at her who was running like a desperate person. Then looked back at the monster.

Unexpectedly, while Clyde was running over to Wolf above the abandoned shop, another Wolf monster appeared from the crossroads.

It was the same Silver Lunar Wolf as the one in the shop.

"Clyde!" Sonya shouted.

Clyde turned his head and saw another monster running towards Sonya.
