"Steps to Separation... and Meeting the Little Doctor"

Episode 3: "Steps to Separation... and Meeting the Little Doctor"

Characters:

Jasser: (Level 1.5) - Training alone.

Saif: (Level 1) - On a resource-buying mission.

Basel: (Level 2) - The younger brother, "Healing Touch" skill.

[Scene 1: The Edge of the Forest - Dawn]

(Screen Description): The digital sun begins to rise. Jasser and Saif sit sharing the last of their apples. Jasser opens the map and points to a very distant location.

Jasser: "The nearest market is in the capital... Walking will take a whole day, and we don't have the luxury of time."

Saif (confidently): "At my current speed, I can cover the distance in less than 10 hours. I'll go alone and get what we need." Jasser (hands him the 11 copper coins): "Take these. Buy a bag to carry resources and any tools that will help us. I'll stay here... I'll fight the monsters alone to level up. I don't want to be a burden on you next time."

(Scene description): A sword flies like an arrow, leaving a cloud of dust in its wake, while Jasser stands alone, tightly wrapping his bandages, his eyes blazing with determination.

[Scene 2: Monster Gate - The Battle of Attrition]

(Scene description): Inside the gate, Jasser faces a monster of the "Rabbit Order," but much more ferocious. The monster lunges with its claws, but Jasser moves with the agility of a sidestep boxer, dodging the blow by mere centimeters.

Jasser (talking to himself): "Don't rely solely on skill... rely on your instincts. Swing... strike... move!" (Scene description): Jasser delivers a series of rapid punches (Jab, Hook, Upper-cut). The damage gauges above the monster's head rapidly decrease. The monster falls, and Jasser immediately races towards another without rest.

(Time shot): We see the sun setting. Jasser lies beneath the original tree, his clothes torn and his hands trembling with exhaustion. He swallows a bite of apple and smiles weakly: "I hope you're alright, Saif..."

[Scene 3: The Capital - Price Shock]

(Scene description): A dazzling shot of a colossal city filled with metal towers and light screens. Saif wanders through the market in amazement, seeing glowing armor and legendary weapons.

Saif (addressing a vendor): "How much for that leather armor?"

Vendor (coldly): "100 silver coins."

Saif (shocked): "What?! I only have 11 copper coins!" (Scene description): Saif buys a cheap cloth bag for 5 coins and stands dejected: "The money we painstakingly saved won't even buy a single dose of medicine... I'll make do with some food so we don't starve to death..."

[Scene 4: The Hospital - The Miracle]

(Scene description): As Saif walks wearily, he notices a sign that reads [Capital Hospital for Players]. Intrigued, he enters to see the wounded and injured. As he walks down the corridor, he sees the familiar back of a young boy wearing a white scarf. The boy places his hand on a player's wound, and his hand glows with a soft green light.

Saif (voice trembling): "B-Basil?"

(Scene description): The little boy turns, his eyes glistening with tears, and runs to his brother, hugging him tightly.

Basil: "Brother Saif! I was so scared...!" Saif (overjoyed): "Jasser will be ecstatic! He was so worried about you! We have no time to waste. Get on my back, Basil... We'll get home quickly, it's getting late!"

(Scene description): A shot of Saif carrying Basil on his back, setting off from the capital like a blue beam piercing the darkness of night, heading towards the great forest.

(On the way) Saif asks Basil: What were you doing at the hospital?

Basil: The system gave me two stars and the skill (Healing). I was working there to earn money and level up. I've reached level 2 and can heal superficial wounds now, but unfortunately, I don't have any offensive skills, so I decided to heal others instead of participating in fights.
