"My bad!" He muttered to himself while turning around. Indeed, a gous was there, staring at him with its piercing eyes. It seemed curious yet cautious, as if deciding whether he posed a threat. Like him, the lower half of its body was submerged while the upper half was not. Nathan hastily scrutinized it before it made any moves. He could feel that his fears had decreased by a leap.

Target Details: Name: Gous Race: Alien Age: N/A Strength: 20kg+ Strength Level: Ordinary Level 2 Defense Shield: 6kg\6kg+ Health Points: 100/100] Without wasting time, the gous threw a punch. Nathan only saw a blurry figure, and it took him some time to realize that the blurry figure was a fist coming towards him at an incredible speed. Thus, it successfully landed on his face. Without using the system, he knew his HP had been subtracted by 14. The gous punch contained about 20 kg of energy, and his defense shield was 6kg, so less t
Splash! He landed in the stream with a resounding splash. To lure the gouses, he kicked the water several times, but no gouses emerged. He kicked a few more times, but still no gous appeared. It was as if the gouses had noticed his confidence and current abilities. Since no gous was appearing, he wasn't going to waste any more time here. He walked out of the water and went deeper into the thick and dense forest. The deeper he went, the more dense and creepy it became. Due to this, Nathan had no doubt that he would encounter monsters and was ready for it. All of a sudden, a gous leaped from a huge tree and landed on its feet right in front of him. This one was an ordinary level 3. The gous didn't waste any time bowling and stalking; it immediately charged toward Nathan and immediately became a blurry figure in the latter's eyes. As part of what he just learned, Nathan didn't make any moves until the figure was about to collide with him. With fast reflexes, Nathan sidestepped at the
He cursed repeatedly as he got up. "I burst into pieces; oh my god, how painful?"He was only grateful that he was still alive.Checking his EP, he saw that he remained with 62.5 EP. During his encounter with the bunch of ordinary level 3 gous, he managed to kill only one, the first one. Thus, he gained 330 EXP and 16.5 EP.Now he wanted to exchange the points for ammunition, but something came to his mind, and he asked. "What else can I do with these points?" He wondered if there were any other useful items or features he could acquire with his remaining points. Perhaps there were special abilities or skills that could be unlocked, enhancing his strength. Curiosity piqued, he eagerly awaited the response, hoping for more options to explore.[At the moment, you can only exchange points for 10-minute DSB, ammunition, and HP refills.]The only new thing was the HP refill, but it was also ineffective at the time because his HP could recover on its own after a brief rest. It was only usef
"Do you really know what you're asking for?" Another troop asked while glaring at Nathan with apparent surprise. This man had beards and looked studier than most of the troops.The troop added, "There's only death on the battlefield, and it takes more than just bravery to survive. Consider it carefully."The troops assumed Nathan's bravery was due to naivety and inexperience. They believed that he had not yet witnessed the harsh realities of war and the toll it takes on a person's physical and mental well-being. They worried that Nathan's boldness would ultimately lead to his downfall, as he underestimated the true horrors of the battlefield."I'm saying this wholeheartedly. And this won't involve or affect any of you in any way. Why not let me face what I am asking for?" Nathan knew that anything could happen on a battlefield. "Even if I die, it's none of your business."

A bunch of strange-looking people marched toward the edge. Their unique attire and unusual features caught Nathan's attention. They were imposing and extremely calm. Their eyes held a certain intensity that spoke of their training and discipline.All the troops immeadiately moved apart, making way for the strange-looking people known as gifted infantry. As they passed, the troops couldn't help but admire their confidence and aura of power. It was clear that these individuals were a force to be reckoned with on the battlefield.The man who seemed to be the leader of the gifted infantry initiated a sp
Hundreds of young people gathered in the registration section of the Warrior Hall in the Slum Wall early on the day of the competition. Nathan was not exceptional.Every young person who was 14 or over was free to register. It depended on if you could do well in the competition.The age range of the youth spanned from 14 to 21, with a scarcity of individuals aged 19, 20, and 21, limiting their total count to no more than 20.The atmosphere was t
A multitude of people had already gathered in the warrior arena, where vacant seats could barely be seen. Most of these people were full-time soldiers, along with a few government officials and nobles. In fact, the nobles and government officials were soldiers too, as military service was often seen as a duty and a way to gain honor and prestige in society. Civilians were not permitted to attend the event. The anticipation in the air was palpable as everyone eagerly awaited the commencement of the highly anticipated warrior competition. The arena buzzed with a mix of excitement and tension as the
