Chapter 10: A New Journey Begins
The world blurred around them. Yuno clung to her back with all his strength as he tried to maintain his grip while she maneuvered through the collapsing cave. Her movements displayed an unnatural precision while she walked because she avoided rocks that might fall with expert skill. The final flash of moonlight lit their way out. The pig performed a final forceful jump, which propelled her body across the cave entrance before the entrance completely collapsed behind them. A thunderous collapse of rocks created an explosion of noise while a massive dust cloud streamed out from the blocked entrance. For a moment, silence. They had made it. The intense rush of adrenaline made Yuno breathe heavily as his body trembled violently. The pig took deep breaths while her torso moved quickly up and down. But they were safe. Or so he thought. The scene in front of him made Yuno’s eyes open wide. Several strange beings waited in the open space in front of the cave. They weren’t alone. The creatures stood in the bonfire's dancing light while watching them with motionless eyes. Yuno moved his eyes rapidly between the creatures while his breathing became heavy from observing their appearance. They were boars. Wild boars, their massive bodies far larger and more intimidating than the piglet beneath him. The massive boars appeared powerful with their thick muscular bodies and their sharp tusks shining ominously from the firelight. Yuno gulped. The appraisal ability in Yuno activated without effort to provide him with knowledge. [Wild Boar Monster] LV18 HP: 477/477 MP: 10/10 SP: 100/100 Attack Power: 159 Magic Attack: 0 Physical Defense: 80 Speed: 16 Critical Strikes: 33% Magic Defense: 35 Description: It lives in groups and lives in Crescent Bay. It has a temperamental personality and a strong sense of territory. When facing invaders weaker than itself, it will relentlessly drive them away, while facing invaders who are stronger than itself, it will choose to migrate and avoid. **** The boars possessed superior strength in comparison to the piglet. But more importantly. His gaze shifted toward the biggest boar among them. A massive figure dominated the front of the group as it loomed above all others at the gathering. Flames from the bonfire cast long shadows across its rugged body. Yuno focused on it. His appraisal ability flickered again. [Wild Boar Leader] LV35 Invalid Identification!! Insufficient Skill Level!! Invalid Identification!! Insufficient Skill Level!! Invalid Identification!! Insufficient Skill Level!! *** The enormous beast moved ahead while its sharp eyes fixed on them and produced a deep guttural noise that echoed throughout the area. Yuno’s entire body tensed. The small pig remained motionless under his feet. The two groups maintained eye contact for a prolonged and distressing period of time. The young piglet walked ahead with no worries while the wild boars behind her remained unimportant to her. The wild boars' threatening looks and stomping feet failed to affect the piglet at all. The boar chief grew increasingly irritated but refused to issue the command for an assault. The boar leader showed awareness of her identity, or he chose not to anger her. All the boars remained motionless to watch the piglet and Yuno depart from the area. The piglet, Yuno rested motionless on her back as they made their journey due to utter exhaustion. The tiny appendages of his body gripped her soft fur while he finally gained the rare opportunity to think since his arrival in this world. The chase, followed by the cave and battling monsters, proved to be too much for him. At this moment, when the piglet transported him away, he gained an important insight. "Back in the cave, she helped me recover," Yuno murmured. "And now, she's taking me with her… Does she possess no harmful intentions toward me?" His thoughts led him to understand the situation better and better. She would have eaten him if she planned to do so since her awakening in this world. She protected him after healing his injuries, and now she carried him toward safety. He checked his surroundings while his mind wandered. "System, where are we now?" A screen with transparent qualities materialized before his eyes. Your current position stands at Crescent Bay, which lies east of the Grasslands with a distance of 200 kilometers from Starter Village. Distance from Starter Village: 200 kilometers. "Two hundred kilometers?!" Yuno's mind reeled. "How the hell did I get here?" There was only one explanation. An activation of teleportation magic occurred right before he lost consciousness. The piglet served as the possible source that delivered him to this location. The piglet intentionally transported him to this location. The piglet moved swiftly to the side just as something passed by him. "Wha?" Yuno reacted too late to defend herself when another strike appeared. The pig utilized her body to escape the attack with precision. Something was attacking them. The sudden revelation made his body shiver. The wilderness proved dangerous because he already had personal experience with its dangers. The piglet's superior perception abilities saved them from potential strikes from the unknown projectiles. A massive frog emerged from the darkness with its slimy body shining under the sunlight. "System, analyze it!" [Bull Toad] LV.11 HP: 110/110 MP: 10/10 SP: 100/100 Attack: 35 Magic: 0 Defense: 30 Speed: 45 Critical Rate: 10% Magic Defense: 10 Description: Bull Toad, a monster common in moist and warm lands. It has strong jumping power but prefers to quietly wait for prey to appear. As long as it's something that can be swallowed, it will try to do so. It requires as much food as its weight every day. **** Yuno gulped. The creature proved to be beyond his current level of power. The frog's throat expanded because it was about to launch another strike. The piglet maintained a state of high alert as her body muscles stiffened. Yuno braced himself. The frog extended its tongue forward at lightning speed before Yuno could respond. The situation happened too fast for him to escape. The frog's sticky appendage wrapped around his small limbs while he helplessly tried to escape. A sudden wave of panic raced through him when he realized the frog was about to swallow him entirely. The piglet suddenly made a loud, angry noise which triggered her quick attack. The piglet used unexpected strength to pounce on the frog, which caused it to drop Yuno. She reached him before his descent ended and positioned herself to receive his fall. Yuno remained on her back while feeling stunned yet unharmed. "You… You saved me again." Through her actions, the piglet communicated more than words ever could. However, their ordeal wasn’t over. A sharp gust of wind cut through the air. The frog missed its mark when the piglet moved quickly to avoid the attack, while the frog remained stationary. A blade of wind sliced through the creature's body with such precision that it cut it into several pieces. Yuno directed his eyes toward the direction of the sound.Related Chapters

Instantly, her mood flipped. She happily munched on the apple, her tail swaying as if nothing had happened.Yuno shook his head at how simple she was but quickly turned his focus back to the mission. Now came the real challenge. Among the collected items was a small rock. He stared at it, confused."How am I supposed to absorb this?" he muttered.

Inside a dimly lit bedroom, the soft glow of a computer screen illuminated a young man’s face, his features sharp with concentration.Yuno’s fingers blurred over his keyboard, his mouse clicking in rapid succession. His breathing was shallow, his pulse hammering as he stared at the screen.“Damn it, Healer! Do something!” he barked, his voice barely above a whisper yet tense with urgency.The enemy loomed before him, a colossal, armored wraith with burning red eyes. Its enormous blade swung down, sending his teammates scrambling. His party members screamed through his headset.“We’re gonna wipe!” “Yuno, what do we do?!” “This boss is impossible!”Yuno clenched his jaw, his hands steady despite the chaos.

His mind operated like a person awakening from deep sleep, but he sensed something unnatural about this experience."Where… am I?"His final memory involved the intense headlights' glare and tire screeching that happened before he witnessed a massive truck speeding toward him in absolute terror. His body remained motionless while his heart blasted like a war drum inside his chest.The situation denied him both escape possibilities and any chance to respond. Just the overwhelming dread of his impending demise.Then.Nothing.No pain. No impact. No final moments of agony.Just… darkness.And now, here he was.But where was here?He breathed in an intense mixture of damp soil and decaying leaves together with fresh moss, which filled the surrounding air. The ground seemed to welcome him with its warm touch in this un

The impact of the foot hitting the ground caused Yuno’s mushroom body to experience a powerful shock.He trembled.Additional figures appeared through the portal while their shapes became visible against its bright light. At least twelve children entered the field with their eyes shining, and their faces showing mischief. The children's laughter mixed with the wind through the leaves as they entered the field.The small mushroom body of Yuno managed to squeeze behind a nearby tree trunk as he pressed his form against its rough bark. His fast breathing combined with the uncontrollable shaking of his cap."What... what is this?"He carefully poked his head out from behind the tree while a large root obstructed his sight. The children traversed through the area in a stat

A strong wind flowed between them while it made the grass move at their feet.Then, without warning.The Papa Snail surged forward while its skateboard wheels generated a green streak through the air.The boy responded swiftly by lifting his short sword at the exact moment. The impact of metal against the shell pushed the boy backward while the shell remained steady. His jaw clenched tightly while his body muscles tightened to maintain his balance."Not this time," he muttered.From his position behind the tree, Yuno watched as his heart raced inside his mushroom-shaped chest. The sight of this battle was completely new to him. The Papa Snail attacked in rapid movements between strikes and retreats with unstoppable determination.But the boy.He was faster.His sword swings demonstrated perfect timing to block every attack from the snail.

Chapter 9: Escaping The CaveThe new form of Yuno included tiny, underdeveloped limbs, still weak, but present.The tiny arms lacked the strength to handle weighty objects, and his feet, while solidified, were still far from full creature leg development. But it didn’t matter.He had legs.He had arms.They were his only hope.Using his short feet, he struggled to climb into a standing position, trying to balance on his newly formed appendages. He managed to stand, but only with the smallest of margins. The unsteady movements of his steps brought him a sense of achievement, even though each one felt like a challenge. His arms swung at his sides in an uncoordinated fashion, but he could still perform minimal gestures. The legs were much more difficult to control than the rest of his body.His tiny feet dragged across the ground with each clumsy shuffle.He wasn’t fast. Not even close to fast.The pig continued to advance, undeterred by its earlier setback. The creature ignored any atte

Chapter 8: A Pig The pig performed an action Yuno never expected when it approached him.It regurgitated.A chewed-up substance hit Yuno’s open wounds as the pig vomited.

The creature that had seemed to devour his flesh was now assisting in his recovery?The pig used its snout to softly touch his head. It wasn’t an attack. It was… affection?Yuno didn’t dare move. The pig rested next to him, its warm body pressing against the cave floor.Sleep soon overtook the beast.The cave fell into silence.But Yuno didn’t sleep. He couldn’t.His mind raced. His body remained still.He had to escape.The moonlight had shifted position by the time something stirred.The large body of the pig moved slightly before it woke up.

Chapter 7: Mushroom King’s JudgmentThe warrior lost his laughter when the gigantic form appeared above him. He looked at it first as an oversized mushroom that would serve as an easy kill, just like the ones he had been cutting down before. The truth became clear when he adjusted his vision to the dim light of the summoning circle, showing him that his opponent was no simple beast.A curly black mustache hung over its face while a crown of golden embroidery sat upon its cap like a royal symbol. A heavy crimson cape drooped from its back while its movements caused it to sway. A dim ancient radiance emerged from its eyes, showing wisdom while simultaneously bringing fear through its judging nature.[Level 60 – Mushroom King]The warrior's breath hitched. He instinctively tightened his grip on the axe as beads of sweat dripped down his brow, even though the night's temperature remained cool.The creature made him afraid enough to ask, “What… the hell is this?” with barely any volume in

His vision showed only trees and dirt, with barely noticeable shapes of his hunters in the distant background.His Spore Explosion had failed to create an opening. His hopeful prayer was destroyed when the archer’s unwavering voice cut through the chaos.“There! It’s still running!”A chilling terror took root inside him.They can still see me?His rapid breathing accompanied his frantic hopping motions across the rough ground as he tried to escape. The endless forest surrounding him failed to provide any cover, his hunters were always close behind.The sounds of approaching footsteps became louder.They were right behind him.How?Yuno turned his head to look behind him, and discovered the source.A pale, luminous symbol floated above his cap, emitting an unsettling supernatural radiance. The glowing mark remained no matter how he moved.It refu
