sharp claws and teeth, they have acidic saliva strong enough to dissolve human flesh.
    Luke didn’t waste any time. He made sure his grip on his sword was solid and then lunged forward. The weapon felt as though it had weight, and as it cut into the flesh of the lead wolf, he was almost sure that he could feel the recoil.
    “Look out!” Silverstrike yelled just in time for Luke to realize that another one of the monsters was headed his way. He dove forward over the first beast and fell into a combat roll down the hill. Behind him, the grass dissolved into green mush as the acid from one of the creature’s mouths landed on it.
    Silverstrike hurled himself onto the same wolf that Luke had already wounded. He was wielding duel daggers and stabbed into the beast several times before backing away. It fell to the ground, and when Luke trained his vision on it, the health bar above it was empty.
    “There’s one left for each of us,” said Luke. He tapped his sword against a rock and drew the attention of the larger of the two remaining wolves. It took a step back and then charged toward him.
    Luke’s first swing cut into the creature’s snout. Unfazed, it pressed on, its claws angling toward him with deadly intent. Luke whirled, continuing forward with his momentum, and struck it again with his blade against its flank.
    It let out a demonic howl and turned to face him. Luke moved quickly and finished it off, each strike feeling more natural and effortless than the last. The fighting style of the Sword Saint class matched his natural approach perfectly, and he couldn’t help but smile at how much fun it was.

    “Alright, that should do it,” said Silverstrike. “Here, you can have two of the pelts, and I’ll take the third. I almost have enough for the quest, anyway.”
    Luke nodded and dropped down to begin skinning the beasts. He had never skinned an animal before in real life, but the process of doing it in the virtual world felt natural and straight forward, much easier than he’d thought it would be.
    They stored the pelts away in the small satchels hanging from each of their belts, which also served as their in-game inventories. The bags were much roomier than their diminutive size suggested, but there was a weight limit to what they could hold.
    After he’d finished, Luke wiped purple blood off his sword on the grass and then scanned the horizon.
    “It looks like there’s a couple more off to the east of here,” he said. “Are you up for it, buddy?”
    Silverstrike nodded.
    “Oh yeah! Let’s do it.”
    The group that Luke had spotted turned out to be bigger than the first one. There were four wolves in total, and as Luke and Silverstrike approached, three more came out from behind a nearby hill.
    “Uh oh,” said Silverstrike. “This might get a little tricky.”
    Luke nodded and felt his heart begin to race. This was reminiscent of the tutorial battle, and he clutched his sword tightly as the lead wolf began to move toward them.
    “Just keep moving and fight defensively,” said Luke. “I’m sure we can take them if we just-”
    The lead wolf let out a growl and the entire group charged forward at once. There wasn’t any time for Luke to do anything other than dodge and roll out of the reach of their jaws. He swung his sword wildly, hoping to strike vital locations, but only managing to push them back slightly.
    Silverstrike was faring worse than he was. His daggers were extremely limited in range, and even though he was up against fewer of the creatures than Luke was, it was impossible for him to effectively play defense. One of the beasts nipped at the back of his calf and he let out a cry of pain that sounded a little too realistic.
    “Just hold on!” yelled Luke. “I’m going to make my way over.”
    Unfortunately, he had problems of his own to deal with. The wolves were using swarm tactics, approaching from every direction at the same time. Luke began to spin and swing in a
