But he got the first level up achievement of the server. This is also a unique one time achievement. Also he noticed the exp just decreased by 5 points after reaching level 2. He didn't get the first Goblin kill achievement. So someone else got it, he expected that, although he expected someone would have killed a wolf already. Austin even got a bow and few arrows from the Goblin Archer as an item drop. As he got near the treasure chest, a big plant appeared.
Austin took out the bow and moved away few steps before firing arrows at the monster plant which has a big mouth. As for accuracy, he didn't need to think much, the eye of wisdom combat assistance mode is enough for him to see the place where his arrow will hit.
It took a few arrows to the weak spots of the monster plant to slay it. Treasure chests can sometimes trigger hidden mechanisms like this which will awaken a monster guarding it or activate traps around it.

Austin opened the treasure chest as achievements appeared one after another. Inside the treasure chest, he found a mask. Austin took the mask while taking a quick appriase on it.

Austin donned on the mask. It's a black mask, with only two short red streak like patterns on each side near the edge. There is no face pattern on it, just two open slits for eyes to see and a protruding for nose. Then he started his hunt once again.
He checked the location of another treasure chest and planned to go there.
[ The next treasure chest is a mile away in north-east direction, it's in the hollow grove of a tree ]
Austin immediately started his journey for the next treasure chest, he also assigned the 10 stat points according to his needs.

Why didn't he assign any points to mana? For now he has no skills, so for now it's unnecessary. Moreover there are other ways to raise mana using some items in the Tower. Other stats can also be raised but the items needed to raise mana are more available compared to others.
As Austin moved forward after assigning stat points, he came across other monsters. Namely the River Serpants, Monster Trees, Dark Pheasants, Grey Wolves and others. He killed them all with precision.

He levelled up twice before coming to the next treasure chest. He opened it and found a light leather armour inside.
[ Canine Leather Armour ]
[ Rank : D ]

[ Description : One of the pieces of Wolf Assassin set. Please collect all 4 pieces to gain the set skill - Stealth (C) ]
[ Hidden information : Max Upgrade Rank (D) ]
[ Hidden information : Can extract set effect into a player exclusive skill using an empty skill stone (C)]
Austin wear the armour. It's for his body, there are four pieces of this armour found in the first floor treasure chests. They're combined to get the wolf Assassin set which grants the stealth (C) skill for assassins. But no one knew this skill can be extracted using skill stones from this set, or maybe it's discovered but not disclosed to outside world.
And looks like he can't upgrade the armour either. He can only use it until he gets a better set and replace this. Austin sighed and grabbed the dagger, it's also starting to wear out, should he be another from the Tower shop. Austin is thinking about a weapon when a Grey Wolf jumped out of the bushes and pounced at him.
Austin just slit it's throat off and got some exp along with Gold.

Well, the exp gaining decreases from these monsters as he levels up. Austin decided to go get another treasure chest. When he saw two serpants fighting over something and these two looked quite different from the ones he had seen. Elite monsters of this region maybe.
[ Fire Serpant ]
[ Level : 5 ]
[ Skills : Fire Poison Lv 1, Burning Scales Lv 1, Poison Spray Lv 1 ]
[ Skill drop rate : 10% ]
[ Item drop rate : 50% ]
[ Ice Serpant ]
[ Level : 5 ]
[ Skills : Cold Poison Lv 1, Freezing Scales Lv 1, Poison Spray Lv 1 ]
[ Skill drop rate : 10% ]
[ Item drop rate : 50% ]
What the? How can their drop rates be so high? Could there some kind of rare mutation? Austin read about mutated monsters. In the tower of trials, some rare cases occur where monsters will mutated. Could this a mutation? Then whatever they're fighting for must be some kind of treasure.
Austin decided to get it. As he waited for the two serpants to get worn out, these two serpants started tearing each other apart, biting each other and trying to overpower one another. These two serpants got entangled. While Austin saw a weakness on their necks.
Taking out and arrow, he aimed at the fire serpant's neck and shot it. The arrow pierced through the neck and the fire serpant screamed in rage, taking advantage of this the ice serpant bit the fire serpant's neck exactly at the region where the arrow hit it. The fire serpant screeched in pain and rage before spraying fire poison at the ice serpant who ignored and continued to bite the fire serpant.
Just when the two serpants madly killing each other, another arrow is released, this time it pierced ice serpant, then come another arrow while the ice serpant is screaming and pierced right through its eye before coming out of it's head. As for fire serpant, it got entangled with ice serpant, so before it can get out of the entanglement, Austin fired an arrow at the fire serpant once again.
Like the ice serpant it's eye got pierced andtje arrow came out of it's head. Two notifications appeared in front of Austin, then came a bigger notification.

' so one of them is an elite while the other is a mutant monster ', Austin thought before he saw a drop as the corpses started vanishing.

Well, that's amazing. He got two drops. He killed like more than 70 monsters and this is the only time he received things like this. Austin picked up the arrows, the loot and then arrived to whatbkindof treasure there is.
