Chapter 03

Izaki immediately regained consciousness and he glanced around where he was. His facial expression changed again when he saw a lot of grass around him.

"Damn! Didn't I also commit suicide this way?" Izaki cursed, then looked for a way to avoid the fire tornado.

As seconds passed, Izaki still had not found a suitable shelter for him to escape from the fire tornado.

Izaki turned back and saw the fire tornado becoming bigger, its heat even more than the heat of the sun on the Earth.

Just then, Izaki came up with another bold idea. This young man's eyes immediately focused on the ground right under his feet.

"Isn't this a great hideout?!" Izaki exclaimed while smiling lightly.

Without delaying any more time, Izaki immediately dug into the ground quickly. It only took two minutes for him to be ten meters from the surface.

Just then, Izaki started to collapse the wall on the left, so that the hole closed and he was buried in the ground.

Luckily Izaki has a strong physique, he was able to withstand the pile. even so, this also made him sweat profusely.

Plus the temperature of the fire outside continued to fluctuate, making the ground above it even hotter.

However, because the depth he was now in was exactly ten meters. The heat outside became warm inside so Izaki's back now felt warm.

***

outside Izaki's shelter...

Everyone who was fighting against the monsters suddenly stopped when they saw a fire tornado that was so big that even the ceiling turned red.

"What is this fire?"

"How are we going to survive this fire?"

Everyone said in a desperate tone. they all surrendered, even the monsters also looked listless when they saw the fire.

They tried to escape, but it was useless because the fire continued to grow. After all, grass is the strongest fire material.

Whoosh! Whoosh!

everyone was engulfed by the fire tornado, and the area where this tornado passed turned barren and black.

There was no life at all and the ground was emitting steam due to the heat of the fire tornado.

It took an hour for the entire area within the portal to turn into black barren land.

***

Izaki, who was in hiding, was now breathing heavily. The pressure from the ground plus his warm back had turned into a terrifying heat.

All the suffering made him a little desperate.

Just then, the sound of the system started to sound and continued to sound without stopping.

[Congratulations, Host for completing the mission.]

[Congratulations, Host for completing the mission.]

[....]

Izaki was stunned and immediately he said loudly. "System stop that notification!"

[Ding!]

[Consecutive mission completion notifications in silent mode.]

"System, is there any suitable reward to help me?!"

[Analyzing Host's state...]

[The reward of strength enhancement points is enough to help the Host solve the problem.]

"Add appropriate points to solve this problem," Izaki said in a firm tone.

[Understood Host!]

[Reward: 10 Strength Attributes.]

Instantly Izaki felt a warm current flowing through his body. He could feel his tense muscles now stabilize again.

"Good!" Izaki happily exerted force and lifted the soil above him to rise to the surface.

Bang!

Izaki was now outside the hole, he took a deep breath as he looked around where he was now.

"Huff... Huff... I didn't expect the impact of the fire tornado to be so big."

Izaki said with a surprised expression. he saw that the entire ground was black and there was not a single living creature or plant.

Izaki immediately sat on the ground, then he turned into a human again.

just as Izaki calmed down, he also started to open the system and see what missions he had completed.

The more Izaki looked at the mission, the more his facial expression changed.

"So killing humans also becomes a mission. What a strange system."

Izaki said in surprise, then he started checking the total number of prizes he got this time.

Seeing the number of rewards, Izaki was shocked and he muttered, "Two hundred rewards... Are the missions I have completed around two hundred?"

Izaki slowly recalculated the missions he had completed. There are indeed about two hundred except for the first mission related to entering the portal.

"This much gift, it's better to take it little by little. When there's a big problem, take it all." Izaki began to decide what steps to take the prize later.

"System, take four rewards first." Izaki thought beforehand, that he had taken one gift.

With the addition of four prizes, now Izaki has taken five prizes. The remaining prize Izaki has is 195.

[Congratulations, Host gained ten speeds.]

[Congratulations, Host gained ten speeds.]

[Congratulations, Host gained ten endurance.]

[Congratulations, Host gained ten endurance.]

Just when the prize has finished being claimed. Izaki felt a warm current flowing through his body. The four prizes he took this time were the same as the previous prizes, namely in the form of physical attributes.

Curious about improvements now. Izaki tried to swing his arms forward. His movements became faster than before.

Then, Izaki tried to run and he felt as if he was running lightly without any weight on his body.

"At this speed, is it comparable to the previous ant monster?" Izaki muttered while holding his chin.

"Perhaps it's still far from the speed of an ant, where I need to be able to react using sharp senses to avoid every attack from the monster."

Izaki was previously satisfied with his body's improvement. Now the feeling of satisfaction has disappeared and I am trying to become strong again.

Apart from that, Izaki also felt the muscles in his body increase and he was able to survive several attacks that attacked him later.

"System, open My Status."

[Status.]

[Name: Kato Izaki.]

[Rank: F.]

[Spirit: Wolf.]

[Strength: 50.]

[Speed ​​: 70.]

[Endurance: 60.]

seeing the change in his status, Izaki smiled. However, he still felt that it was too soon to be happy as there were still many prizes yet to be claimed.

"System, get another five rewards."

[Congratulations, Host obtained the Exit Portal Transfer Ticket.]

[Congratulations, Host gained ten speeds.]

[Congratulations, Host obtained System Function: Storage Space.]

[Congratulations, Host obtained the evolution stone.]

[Congratulations, Host gained ten powers.]

A warm current flowed through Izaki's body again. then, he felt his attack was able to destroy a large, tough tree.

As for speed, it was still the same but energy consumption was drastically reduced.

"This Storage function is quite practical for carrying some items that are still protected inside this portal."

Izaki realized one thing when he recovered. He smelled some strange smells beneath the pile of gray.

There was one possibility that crossed his mind. Izaki suspects that there are objects that every monster leaves behind when it dies.

Izaki slowly approached the pile of ashes and traced his hand into the pile.

Izaki's eyes widened and he immediately pulled out the object he was holding.

You can see a round object with a red light inside.

Seeing the object, Izaki tilted his head as if confused about the function of the object.

Just then, the system panel appeared.

[Monster Core Crystal.]

[A round object that resides in the body of every monster. This thing is the life of monsters.]

[Monster Core Crystals are useful for increasing the strength of each user. The amount of increase depends on how much energy is in the crystal.]

"Precious thing..."

To be Continued.
