11 Luna
As they stared down the Tinder Wolf King, Wraith had a startling thought.
'Wasn't there a feral Spectral Wolf before? She had raised a litter of wolves to hunt down the wolf king of her forest, just to take over and massacre adventurers. Did I actually find her before it all happens?'
Wraith looked towards Luna, a small smile appearing on his face.
"Let's go."
One small step... and Wraith stepped back. Before he could move, the moon shone high in the sky. Luna looked up, howling loudly. Wraith forced his mind into hers once more.
'Forced Moonlight'
A still special to high ranking Spectral Wolves. They can bring out artificial night time, thus enhancing their night based abilities.
The next second, Luna was stopped as Wraith's shirt vanished into his inventory. Nightfall was illuminated into a silvery color on his body.
'Nightfall has activated it's night based passive. Your upper gear shall be removed until night has passed, or you are no longer in combat.'
Wraith stretched out his muscles slightly, opening his status screen.

"So... that's how well we compliment each other."
Wraith got close to the ground, his muscles bulging under his trousers.
"Leap of the Wolf."
He had a smug grin as he pushed off the ground, hard. In less than a breath, he had traveled the rough twenty meters to reach the Tinder Wolf King, still deeper in the forest. To his surprise, Luna was already behind the wolf king.
Laughing happily, Wraith began to lunge at the wolf king again.
'Arm of the Anaconda
Thrust of the Rhino
Best of the Gorilla'
In a split second, Wraith launched out his fist. This slammed into the side of the wolf, followed by his knee rising into the same spot. Finally, hist fists both hammered down on its spine.
The Tinder Wolf King was thrown sideways by the force of the three attacks. It slid a few meters before it staggered to its feet.
'How does this human move so quickly?! Why does one so small and weak hurt me so badly?! Give me that divine woman beside you, foul bastard!'
The wolf was huffing and stamping it's foot, it's rage clouding it's vision. Suddenly, in its ear it heard a soft feminine voice.
"Bad choice."
'Sting of the Hornet
Bash of the Kangaroo'
Wraith grazed his knuckles down the side of the wolf at incredible speeds. Four thin trails of blood suddenly spurted from the side of the wolf as he thrust out both of his legs. The second move not only threw the wolf, it allowed Wraith to perform a quick back flip to give greater distance.
"Hey Luna! Wanna help out?"
Luna was sitting off to the side now, her eyes filled with determination as she watched Wraith beat down the wolf king. She almost seemed pleased.
With a small nod from her, Luna vanished from sight. Before Wraith could even turn around, she was smashing and clawing the wolf over and over.
'I'm glad she didn't kill those hunters... that'd have been a nasty mess. Only players and monsters will depixelate.'
Wraith watched for a while before he threw himself back into the fray. The bar over the Tinder Wolf King's head was draining steadily. It wasn't incredibly fast, but it was enough to show that these two were no joke when together.
Luna suddenly bowed out, somehow noticing why she did, Wraith got even closer to the wolf king.
"Hey big guy, I'm sorry I stole your girlfriend, but I think she likes me better. Grip of the Crab."
His arm wove around the wolf's neck, clamping down tightly as he struggled to remove Wraith. Unable to bite him, the wolf continued to claw and fling Wraith about. Even Luna began to grow worried, her eyes speaking louder then words as she stepped forward. Looking closer, she noticed that each bit of damage healed too quickly. Wraith was in no trouble due to the regen speed of Nightfall.
-562 +200 +200 +200
-687 +200 +200 +200
-354 +200 +200 +200
Wraith's health continued to fall and bounce, each and every attack from the wolf king being rendered useless in under a second. However, Wraith damage wasn't being healed. Just as fast as he healed, Wraith was dealing damage. Although it's nothing too special. With no actual weapons, his attack stat was pretty low.
-42 -54 -49 -176 -24
-34 -54 -47 -150 -44
This continued on, the damage from Wraith rising constantly, until finally... the Tinder Wolf King breathed his last. His red pixels fading out of Wraith's grip.
'Level Up
Level Up
Level Up
etc.'
Wraith smiled as he reopened his stats screen, Forced Moonlight also fading. His shirt reappeared...

Before he could process his earnings, Wraith felt Luna's damp nose touch his chest. Her eyes were closed tightly, and her breathing slowed immensely.
"What are y-"
He was interrupted by three things.
'Skill: Moonlight Jump (Tier 5 Expert Active Skill)
Anywhere the light of the moon touches, you may instantly jump to. Range: Moonlight Cooldown: 1 min.'
'You have been bound to Spectral Wolf Queen, Luna. She has imprinted onto you and wishes to follow you as long as you wish for her company.'
The third thing was a soft red glow swirling around Luna. This light slowly covered her entire body, hiding her from view, but as quickly as it came, it vanished. Standing with her face directly against Wraith, Luna sniffed out longly.
"Master smells nice."
Wraith stepped back a few times, his eyes widening at one last message.
'Congratulations on completing the hidden quest: Wolf Queen's Advances
Reward: 1 Expert Skill, 1 Divine Follower'
"Why does it feel like my birthday and Christmas just made love to me?"
