Supreme Warlock System

5 First Target

' Where's this? ' Jerouch muttered in a sceptical tone.

He was still checking what the system was all about when the notifications rang non-stop.

A few seconds after that, he felt as if space was twisting and by the time he regained his senses, he found himself here.

The room looked like a traditional Japanese training dojo.

It was fifty meters wide and long, with earthen walls that smelled of antiques.

At the centre of the dojo, there was a brown cylindrical punching bag that hung down from the dark earthen roof carved with different runic symbols, which allowed no sunlight.

Instead, there were oil lamps fixed at strategic places to illuminate the room.

In one corner of the room, there was a section that appeared to be where weapons were kept, but currently, there was no weapon there.

The floor was made of matte buttermilk stones that were a bit smooth, but not too smooth to make one slip.

Jerouch walked closer to the centre, stepping on the brown mat that covered five meters radius underneath the punching bag.

[Daily quest]

Level up your passive skills.

He read the notification again just to confirm that he was on the right page.

' I have to say it again that this looked like a game thingy. ' he couldn't help but admire the surroundings and breathe in the air that carried vicissitude with it.

Doom!

Jerouch struck the punching bag with all the force he could summon.

The punching bag barely moved from its initial position.

' Ouch, that hurt more than I thought it would. ' He shook his right palm in the air, and the pale skin had reddened and swollen.

Going easy this time around, he started striking the punching bag until a notification appeared.

Punch- Lvl 2

Host accuracy and tenacity had increased.

' Now the kicks. '

Learning from before, he didn't outrightly kick with full force

Rather, he progressed slowly until the sweet notification rang again.

Kick- Lvl 2

Host balance has slightly increased.

It wasn't even long, but he was getting addicted to this.

[Daily quest completed.]

Reward- 5 Exp.

[New passive skill unlocked.]

Ace kick- Lvl 1

' Not only does this give me a reward, but I also got a new passive skill.' he sucked his lips with a grin.

Jerouch wanted to use the opportunity to continue, but his vision twisted, and he found himself back in the forest.

'Wait, what! ' he turned around confused.

The dojo had limited duration, and it could only work during the daily quest since it was faster to improve one's skill there.

This was unknown to Jerouch, and he thought he might be experiencing a glitch in the system.

'' Growll! ''

Jerouch wanted to continue browsing through the system, but that was when he heard a growl from the distance.

His eyes twitched, and his chest rose and fell vigorously.

He got up and started running towards the depth of the forest, since the sound was coming from the edge.

That was too late though, as he soon found the monster that was causing the disturbance.

A red bear about two meters tall, weighing hundreds of kilograms.

It had red eyes and its fiery fur stood erect as his eyes deadly set on Jerouch.

' F-for real…' Jerouch gasped for breath as his feet kept moving.

' Narrowly surviving one dire situation just to fall into another… Lady luck is that mean? '

The footsteps of the bear kept getting closer, and Jerouch huffed for air.

' One punch, and I'll be as good as minced meat, 'he thought.

Agility +1

Strength +1

Jerouch heard the notification, but he couldn't care less.

He kicked a tree branch that was obstructing his path, and it snapped into pieces.

' Um? This much force. ' he frowned as he started making a few calculations.

He didn't realize it before, but his constitution was changing with every moment he spent with the system.

' I should be able to do something. '

Instead of running forward, Jerouch suddenly turned to his right after slightly slowing down for the bear to enter his range.

The red bear swung his left arm diagonally aiming to crush its prey's neck, but his attack met empty air.

Using the short opportunity where the bear had yet to regain its balance, Jerouch did an ace kick that struck the bear's right shoulder.

Bam!

The bear staggered backwards and collided with a tree.

' Arggh! '

Frenzied, the bear bellowed in anger after being humiliated by an ant that barely reached his chest.

Bending its limbs as if in a half-squatting position, it leapt forward at a tremendous speed, appearing right before Jerouch.

' Dammit. ' Jerouch gritted his teeth in fear and frustration and did the only thing he could think of.

He slid downward and decided to sweep the bear's lower limbs, but the punch of the bear still hit his right shoulder.

'' Katcha! '' The sound of bone fracturing was heard and Jerouch winced in pain as he was sent flying like a kite.

' Healing. ' Jerouch wasted no time and called the only active skills he had.

The skill did wonder as a few seconds later, the bone connected.

' Fine, let's fight like a rogue. '

He stood up and quickly dodged another punch that came his way.

Without hesitating, he landed his punch from behind, and the bear lost balance as it fell.

Punch- Lvl 3

' Just right. ' Jerouch didn't slack off as he sent another punch aiming for the neck of the bear.

This time around, his punch managed to break the cervical bones in his neck, and that was the endpoint for the bear.

With two more blows in the head, life eventually left the bear.

Huh!

Jerouch dropped to the ground, panting heavily.

' That was close. ' he thought.
