Isaac was sitting in front of the fireplace, expecting to see the old man returning, but he left and never returned.
The holographic screen of Quest being completed was still floating in front of his eyes.
''Should I really believe him...'' He started biting his nails and felt very doubtful, but the old man seemed to know what he was talking about.
''I don't really lose anything... Icy Shot is still a special skill.'' Coming to a conclusion, he decided to play with the fate and pressed Icy Shot without even looking for information on the skill.

[Quest Completed!]
[Congratulations, Player Wraith, for successfully completing Marksman Class Quest!]
[Reward: Unique Outfit Specially Made for Player Wraith!]
''Unique outfit...?'' Isaac thought it was a strange reward, but soon he felt something warm covering his body.
He turned his head to look at his outfit and didn't see his Lizard Scale Armor anymore!
Instead, he was wearing a black-colored jacket with a hood covering his head and pants, also in the color of black with boots that fit him perfectly.
Isaac pressed a button in front of him and took the information about the outfit.
___
[Wraith's Camouflage]
[Rank: Unique]
[Description: User can perfectly camouflage in every terrain and weather. The outfit can change colors with voice command; give it a try, Player!]
___
''Camouflage and can change colors with voice command...'' Isaac touched the jacket's texture and felt it was very silky and pleasant to touch. He stood up from the couch and went to a nearby mirror to check his look.
At first, he didn't even recognize himself.
His white-haired was a surprisingly perfect match for the black camouflage and made him look very nice to look at. This time, he didn't look beautiful; instead... Cool, with the black hood covering some part of his head.
Isaac used his right hand to push the hood off, and some time admired the craftsmanship of his new outfit.
He raised his leg slightly and used his hand to feel the soft texture of the shoe; his previous shoes were somewhat bad, even hard to walk with sometimes.
His run towards the Beast Forest caused massive leg pains because sometimes it felt like he was running without shoes, and he was perhaps happiest to get new shoes.
''Ah, right... Voice command.'' Isaac looked at the mirror and said the first color that came to mind, ''Brown.''
It was the first color that came to his mind because of the brownish walls.
His black-colored outfit changed colors quickly, until it was brown, resembled a lot of color of trees.
He looked at his sleeves and hood. Indeed, it changed colors perfectly.
''White.'' Next color was white, and this time his outfit was identical to the color of his hair.
His hair was hard to be noticed if it was underneath the hood.
''If I was fighting in a snowy environment... Who could possibly spot me?'' Isaac chuckled and felt like he had gotten hands on the cheat and felt excited about possibilities.
Every Player wants something unique that can be flexed and used to get an advantage over others.
Isaac isn't different. He wants to have some uniqueness in himself, and he already knows that his looks are as unique as it gets, but now, he has something that no one else has.
Perfect Camouflage!
Unfortunately, it didn't give him extra HP, and after Isaac touched his chest, he felt the hard texture of the Lizard Scale Armor underneath. That was another advantage.
No one knows how strong his Armor will be.
Soon, Isaac stopped admiring his new outfit and turned around to look towards the direction where the old man disappeared to.
He still had questions, and he felt like the old man had something he wanted to reveal but couldn't.
An item popped from his Inventory and landed on his palm. It was Teleportation Pearl, he could teleport away and try to start catching up on other players, but he felt like if he left, he would regret it.
With a sigh, he threw it back to his Inventory and slowly walked towards the door, where the old man disappeared to.
During his walk, he noticed a strange thing.
His footsteps didn't make any noise!
Isaac looked surprised until a thrilling look appeared on his face.
*Creak*
He slowly opened the door and entered another room, which was surprisingly empty.
It was a quite small room with a wooden table in the middle with six wooden chairs. There was also a gaslamp on the middle of the table, which had turned on, causing a yellow color to spread around the small room.
He also saw bookshelves, but most of them were old with layers of dust on top.
On the other side of the room was a staircase leading to another floor.
Isaac walked past across the room and took the first step on the wooden staircase.
*Creak*
His body's weight caused a slight creaking noise to appear, but he didn't mind and continued moving his legs up and down as he walked up the staircase.
On top of the staircase was another wooden door, which was slightly ajar.
Isaac slowly opened the door and saw the old man praying in front of a small statue. His aged eyes were shut down, and his wrinkly hands were on praying gesture.
He entered the room silently and finally saw the interior of the room.
It resembled of an attic with soft carpet on the floor and the only light coming was from the open window, which showed the bright blue sky.
The old man slowly opened his eyes, and gentle smile appeared on his face, ''Isaac, come here.... Pray with me, Gods will hear our prayings.''
