But Neo didn't give it a chance to take a breather, as he arrived next to it, putting his head on the back of his head and smashing it into the ground. The host felt its vision blurring, and everything dizzy as it tried to make sense of things and tried to retaliate. It stood back up with a roar and attacked but only got gifted with a punch to the face, which should've broken the bones, but then even if it was weakened; it was a high rank evolver, so it could take some beating and Neo was counting on that as he kicked the guy away. The host finally got some time and roared once more before it attacked Neo. It punched, the target being his face, but alas, its whole life was built around magic skills and tricks, so it had little experience when it came to close quarter combat. Neo dodged and grabbed its arm in a lock and punched it from under the arm, an uppercut. The contact made its teeth clung together, because its tongue in between those teeth; it got cut as blood started coming o
{Might be!} 'How so?' {My knowledge of people's thought process is as good as taking a bucket of water out of the ocean to reduce its water level} Neo sat down as others were still going through their turns. He could feel the ground tremble as people unleashed their most powerful attacks to finish the other person. They were finally done as the wall covering him from all sides vanished, and he could see four more other than him, but their condition was not that good except a cloaked figure who was just standing there like this was nothing new to it.

The host wondered how they even survived till here."Well, whatever. There are many talented faces in this batch."It saw other people building shelters as they had brought water with them, which might be because they were well-informed of the pattern. And hunters were also good at their job as they had already started their hunt.One of them was even closing in on the duo, which made it shake its head. It knew that those two would soon be either miserable or dead.It set the game in such a way that the hunters would've 10% of their stats kept from the start and if they find the item, it'll unlock it further to 20%.Neo stopped walking, he looked to his left and could see two figures closing in on them."Time to warm up a little."The two beings, both of them, had blue skin and a jaw so wide that you can fit a watermelon in it. With rows of teeth, their eyes slit like a snake, they looked at the two menacingly as they stopped before the duo.Neo saw a red triangle over their heads, li
Thud* A dear-like monster struck the ground, minus the head. Neo had beheaded it cleanly, the head still in his hand. {Food for today has been secured.} 'It should have been enough for 5 days but…' {Yeah, the bastard of a host is stimulating it to rote faster.} Neo dragged the missing head corpse away from the river, not before making sure that it was drained of blood. He doesn’t want to host a party for the monsters at his house. After a while, he arrived at the foot of a small treehouse, made from wood and leaves. They couldn't use anything from the inventory, and he didn't want to use anything from the chamber. He had a strange feeling that there was more to this quest than it was letting on. He started dressing (butchering) the monster and discarded the rest far away, again; he didn't want monsters to congregate near this area. Selene appeared as the red mist took her form. She saw Neo putting the meat in an ice container she made and said, "No suspicious activity today as
He laid her down on the makeshift bed gently, looking at her one more time before starting looking for the problem that he had delayed for a long time now.He wanted to find out what was causing his pain receptors to be inactive. This was really proving to be an issue, especially in a fight where even a single mistake would be life-threatening.{I almost got banged up in the Sixth Fable because of this.}He remembered when a large group of bipedal rhinos cornered him, making him shiver.'Let's see.'Neo scanned his body as he had almost exhausted his mana, leaving a little behind so that he wouldn’t fall in to the depravity state. This made it easy for him to navigate through, as the mana he had before was like a traffic jam. Now there were only 2 to 3 cars on that road, looking around without getting hit has become easy now.'What's this?'Neo, after searching, was looking at the blockage that he found when he traced a nociceptor to the spinal cord but just before that signal reached
Days passed quickly, at least for Neo and Selene.The survivors survived, and hunters hunted. And with each passing day, it became a nightmare for survivors, as many felt like they were being herded like helpless sheep by the hunters as they were getting more and more cornered.During their “vocations,“ Neo and Selene received many visitors, some went on their merry way while some met their maker. Even the host checked the list to make sure they were not wearing sheep skin to eat the tiger. They looked more like hunters than the hunters themselves. Others were just weak little prey that trespassed into their territory, not a good ending for many.The host also learned of Neo's track record in its free time.‘A territorial couple.’It muttered, even more vigilant against him. Not everyone would waste a favor from the boss just to have a host for breakfast.The game kept ongoing until the last day arrived, and the host's voice sounded.Ahem, I would love it if everyone moved in the poin
Selene didn't reply as she appeared before him, healing his fractured, bleeding arm, which he just now realized took some hits from the assailant. Making him turn silent, muttering how much of a headache this was in his mind, and said to Selene with a grin. "Wifey is the best." It earned him a red hue and a soft fist to the chest. He just smiled, letting her heal him. After healing his arm, they checked the hunters’ belongings before following the arrow once more. “Is he even restricted?” It surprised the host at how easily they handled the hunters who had 20% of their attributes unlocked. He wanted to grab Neo and Selene and open them up to see what these two were made up of, but held itself back as they had become the viewers' favorite and were raking in a good response. He sent many hunters their way. They were disposed of just as easily as Neo let Selene handle them as he gave her pointers over how to use her ability more effectively, slowly making her control over it better
『 Can not Inspect the target.』 『 Anti-Inspect item in use.』 {Oh, that's new.} Blaze said, backing up a little, a hand passed through where his neck was a moment ago, narrowly dodging the attack. Selene appeared next to Xandorael, about to pierce him with the dagger, but felt a resistance, like hitting a ball made of fur. Xandorael twisted his body, and the dagger slid through his body as he swiped the claw like hand at Selene which just passed through her, just then, multiple red daggers formed and were launched toward Xandorael, just as it was near him, they stopped, the Host appeared above them. I know you are enthusiastic about getting to know each other, and you'll get plenty of chances to do so. How about we stop the entertainment here? "I also want to get to know you." Blaze appeared next to Selene as he looked at the host with a grin that widened even further as he saw the host's scrunched face that was trying its best to maintain its smile. The host dismissed him as a si
