once I achieve the next. First of all I closed the data page for beginners that had popped up in front of my eyes. That stage was clear for me. Then I entered my attributes and sighing distributed all five points with my heart broken. As a result I got the following:
       Your character’s basic attributes:
    Strength – 6
    Intelligence – 1
    Agility – 5
    Stamina – 7
    Wisdom – 1
    I invested almost all points into agility. I was fine with my stamina so far. As for the strength I add just one point deliberately. I would be able to kill the same rats by two hits not by three as I used to do. It would save both my time and my health. Although due to the agility increase I had better chance to dodge, plus I managed to increase the critical hit chance a bit.
    I might have decided wisely and distributed the points properly but still I had a feeling that something was wrong – hate that oddity of mine. I’m always dissatisfied by this or that and I always doubt everything.
    Besides, it was time to think about what to become, to determine the future way of your character development. I knew one thing for sure – I was not going to become a ranger-archer. I was fed up with the late Crashshot. 
    So, thinking about that important subject I wandered to the leather-dresser’s workshop.  A tight leather jacket caught my eye at once. It was hanging in plain view. Brown color, double row of polished copper buttons, a high collar and spacious pockets – it’s a dream come true not a mere jacket. But the price made me wince – fifteen silver coins. It must be one gold but for five coins.
    -                       Welcome, sir… - a hefty man dressed in a leather apron over a grey shirt almost started his welcoming speech but glancing at my untrustworthy look suddenly changed his mood – What do you want, good man?
    -                       Here is an order for you – I answered and after delving in my bosom handed the leather-dresser a sheet of paper carelessly – An honorable Chris asked me to…
    -                       Yup, I know him – the leather-dresser interrupted me and threw a couple of coppers to me casually. – Take it for your service.
    No doubt, I eagerly caught the coins. Two coppers…
    -                       Thank you very much, sir – I said through my teeth with a forced smile – Can I help you somehow?
    -                       Nope – said the leather-dresser sharply to finish our conversation.
    Congratulations!
    The quest ‘Deliver an order to the leather-dresser’ is completed!
    Award: two copper coins and 40 experience points!
    Well, at least I’ve got experience. As for the coins, they could have been more generous.
    Leaving the leather-dresser’s workshop I stopped frozen to the spot striving to decide where to steer my bare feet. Definitely not to the rats – Dart Vader must be still there and I won’t have a chance to hunt there well. The quests finished so fast and I absolutely couldn’t imagine where to find new ones…
    -          Sirrah, hey, sirrah boy, come hither!
    Turning around I saw an old man dressed in a robe standing on the opposite side of the street and intensely waving his hand at me. ‘Local’. I had never met him before.
    Approaching him, I showed the well-known half-bow and looked at him with a questioning smile.
    -          Sirrah, ain’t I right that you’re a messenger? Well, that you’re sent wherever with letters and parcels? I want you to deliver one packet…
    ‘Hey, gramps, mind your word, otherwise, I won’t respect your great age…’
    -          Erm… - I hesitated.
    -          No? Oh, that’s a pity… I’ll have to deliver it on my own. I didn’t want to bother my old joints in vain but nothing doing… - muttering the old man closed his robe flaps, turned his back on me and trotted short towards the gate.
