Misty World: Start with SSS skill
Chapter 37 Anno’s Background

[Ding! Announcement to all players on Misty World, Himari is the first player to defeat the Hidden Boss.]

[Ding! Announcement to all players on Misty World, Himari is the first player to defeat the Hidden Boss.]

The System message popped up 3 times to announce that Himari was the first to defeat the Hidden Boss. This surprised Hikaru a bit, he thought that Sherwin would be the first to defeat the Hidden Boss.

"Himari? The fanatical girl calling for followers on the world chat channel?" Hikaru recalled that he had seen Himari's message before. Of course, at that time he just memorized her name, not thinking that she had such a high potential.

Hikaru suddenly asked Rika: "Is there only one Hidden in the world?"

[No, Master. There are many Hidden Bosses, almost every area has a Hidden Boss. The Hidden Boss's level and strength are random. The system will announce the first three people to destroy the Hidden Boss. Most importantly, the mystery reward will only be granted to those first three.]

Hikaru nodded. He didn't want to be the first to defeat the Hidden Boss because he knew the System would notify all the other players. Previously, Hikaru's possession of the UR Treasure Chest was announced to all players on Misty World, causing him to be targeted by many people.

So, Hikaru calmed down. Because According to  Rika , maybe the system will announce if other people defeat a Hidden Boss. As There is not only one Hidden Boss in this world, but there are many. Perhaps each area will have a Hidden Boss.

Right now, Hikaru just wanted to quietly develop his territory. And He already possesses the Maximum Evolution skill, and as long as there are enough resources, it is only a matter of time before his territory becomes the strongest.

Hikaru felt that he wasn't the main character of this world  so he didn't need to risk his life fighting other players. He still believes that the one who lives the longest is the winner.

However, it seems that the other players aren't like him. They seem to go crazy after leaving their territory, if they encounter other players, they will  most likely fight to the death.

"Is this the effect of the fog or is it because we possess a different mindset?" Hikaru thought to himself.

He shook his head and continued to wait. However, he did not forget to instruct Rika to remind him if other players approach the Hidden Boss near his domain.

Just two minutes later, another announcement appeared in front of Hikaru.

[Ding! Congratulations to Latare for being the second player to defeat the Hidden Boss.]

"Latare? Not Sherwin?" Hikaru began to feel uneasy. However, soon another message appeared.

[Ding! Congratulations to Nura Mike for being the 3rd player to defeat the Hidden Boss.]

[Ding! Three people have defeated the Hidden Boss, the system has distributed the rewards.]

Upon seeing the 4th message, Hikaru realizes that only the first 3 people to defeat the Hidden Boss will receive the reward from the System.

[Master, you are too cautious. This world is surrounded by fog, even if people know you, they won't be able to replace you.]

Hikaru frowned and replied, "They Can't replace me? So what about in Petran's case? Doesn't he have my exact location? If Petran made my position public, wouldn't a lot of players attack me?"

Rika listened to Hikaru's words and could only stay silent. Indeed, she could not believe that Petran possessed such a bizarre Talent. Being able to see through the fog meant that Petran could move freely without getting lost. And  could dodge the monsters, and he also has a better resource replaceing ability than Larry.

Even though he wasn't the first to defeat the Hidden Boss, Hikaru was still happy about it. Seeing the first three names who defeated the Hidden Boss, are people Hikaru had little information about made him a little insecure.

So it could be speculated that there are many players stronger than Sherwin or with much higher potential than Sherwin's. Perhaps the territory of these people was quite far  so Hikaru couldn't meet them.

[Master, a player is approaching the Hidden Boss near our territory.]

Rika's reminder interrupted Hikaru's chain of thoughts. He frowned and ordered Saraya to quickly approach the Hidden Boss using Rika's instructions. Of course, Saraya couldn't communicate with Rika, so Hikaru relayed the instructions to her.

Saraya and Vuni were not afraid to venture into the fog. Following Hikaru's guidance, even though the fog blocked their view, they could still easily reach the Hidden Boss's location.

However, what surprised Hikaru was that Vuni and Saraya brought a girl with them. She wore a hooded cloak that almost covered her entire body underneath the hood was a beautiful face adorned with purple eyes, and she had luscious lips.  her hair,and skin were brown and it was similar to the color of honey.

But what caught Hikaru's attention were her long ears. He immediately recognized her as a Dark Elf. Hikaru used his thoughts to communicate with Saraya and Vuni and asked: "Who is she?"

Saraya: "She's a Dark Elf, Vuni found her hiding among the Undead."

Vuni: "Yes, it seems she is a resident of this world."

"An Inhabitant of this world?" Hikaru was a bit surprised as this was his first time seeing the people of this world.

Vuni: "Yes, after defeating the Hidden Boss, should I give her to you as a plaything?"

"There's no need! Watch her carefully. If she does anything strange, kill her immediately." Hikaru immediately replied.

Vuni: "Yes, Master, don't worry."

Hikaru was instructing Saraya and Vuni on how to get to their destination when he noticed the Dark Elf girl. To make it easier for her to follow them, the Dark Elf girl walked in the middle, while Vuni and Saraya walked by her sides.

Suddenly, the Dark Elf girl spoke up: "Hey, where are you two going? It's easy to get lost if you move around in the fog. If you two want, you could ask me, as I have an item that can help you dispel the fog around you and not allow you to lose your way."

"Lost? We will not get lost." Saraya replied coldly: "Besides, don't pretend to be good or teach us what to do. Remember, you are now our prisoner."

"You.." The Dark Elf girl gritted her teeth, her face showed anger. However, she thought that she wasn't as strong as the other two girls, so she pouted and said: "Huh! If you lose your way, don't blame me for not reminding you."

"Ah~ Saraya is so cold." Vuni said with a smile, but Vuni's gaze on the Dark Elf girl scared her.

"W-What are you going to do?" The Dark Elf girl asked tremblingly.

"I still don't know your name~" Vuni asked in a "friendly" voice.

"I-I'm Anno..." Anno stepped back as she was scared of  Vuni's gaze. Anno felt the way Vuni looked at her was similar to how people looked at an interesting toy. Although Vuni was very friendly, Anno's intuition was telling her that Vuni was dangerous, extremely dangerous.

"Anno? Your name is very beautiful, it sounds very personal." Vuni did not skimp on complimenting  Anno.

"S-of course, this is a name given to me by my mother. Everyone in the Dark Elf kingdom likes my name." Anno said proudly.

"Dark Elf Kingdom? Your mother?" Vuni's face was filled with confusion.

"Right. My mother is the queen of the Dark Elf Kingdom." Anno seemed to have lost her vigilance towards Vuni, as she spoke freely about her mother: "She ruled the Dark Elf kingdom for over 800 hundred years."

"So, you are the Dark Elf princess?"

"Right! I am the  princess of the Dark Elves, Anno." Anno was leaning on her hips, speaking proudly, her nose was raised high because of how proud she felt.

"WAO! That's admirable~ But why are you here?"

Hearing Vuni's question, Anno suddenly broke into a cold sweat. She did not dare to look Vuni in the eye, but stammered, "Um… actually… I was… on a mission…"

"Mission?"

"Yes, I-I am investigating the situation around this area…"

"Really?" Vuni glanced at Anno. And Anno was trembling in fear, and was sweating profusely.

"T-that's right..."

"So that means the Dark Elf kingdom is not far from here?" Vuni continued to ask.

"Actually… it's not that close…" Anno's voice slowly faded towards the end of the sentence.

"Are you doing this quest alone? You're a Princess, which means you have to have a lot of guards when you go out, right?"

"Of course, there are four Dark Elf girls following me to protect me."

"So… where are those four girls?"

"They… are hiding not far from here."

"Oh~ I think the number of people assigned to protect you must be more than that." Vuni looked at Anno and smiled, Vuni's smile sent a chill down Anno's spine then Vuni said: "Or to be more precise… you ran away, right?"

"N-no… I-I didn't run away." Startled, Anno stammered in protest.

"That's strange, then." Vuni tilted her head to look at Anno and explained: "The only princess of the Dark Elf kingdom went out without many guards. Besides, she appeared here alone without the four Dark Elf girls she spoke of, which meant that the other four girls weren't effective in protecting her either. So, other than you running away, there's no better explanation, Dark Elf princess - Anno."

"I-I… I don't…"

"Besides… why are you among the Undead?"

"I…"

"Huh?"

"Actually… I just wanted… to replace some food…"

"Come on! Children shouldn't lie, right?" Vuni lifted Anno's chin with her finger. Anno was scared and tried to avoid it, but her fear seemed to parylize her so she couldn't resist Vuni.

Vuni brought her face close to Anno's, her  breath carrying an enchanting fragrance and heat that made Anno flustered.

Saraya: "…"

Hikaru: "..."

Both Saraya and Hikaru were silent. Neither of them thought that with just a few words from Vuni, Anno would reveal all her information. I don't know if Vuni is that smart or Anno is just too stupid.

However, Hikaru took note that Vuni knows how to manipulate people . She is like a psychologist, with just a few sentences she can get all your information.

"This scene…" Hikaru saw what Vuni was doing to Anno, he silently exclaimed: "This is similar  to Yuri stories."
