After I followed my attack with another strike to its supposed throat piercing it, the thing that flowed through its place was not blood but sand.‘What?’I was surprised. Looking at the monster lying on the ground.A humanoid body, but with the head of a bird and empty black eyes not showing any signs of living.‘Ah, now that I think about it, there were these types of enemies.’/SCREECH/ /SWOOSH/Seeing another scream coming from the sides, I turned my head towards Aleena.“Aleena, can you use {Holy Enhancement} right now?”Asking that, I grabbed the sword./CLANK/And blocked the strike of another monster coming.“What? I can use {Holy Enhancement}, but I need to concentrate for a second.”/STAB/ /PIERCE/“It is fine. I will protect you.”Stabbing the monster in front of me, I said.‘Sylvans, they were a group of monsters created by the Putrid Erdtree Spirit. The catch is that they will be revived again, if not killed by weapons with {Holy Enhancement}.’Trying to look at the futur
Looking at the scene before me, I heard the system’s voice in my head.Albeit I was slightly dumbfounded by the scene, it was still manageable until a lot of information started pouring down into my head….“Urghk-““Darius!”/THUD/Although I was familiar with this sensation, not resting for a long time and exerting myself, coupled with the headache coming from, was enough to make me lose consciousness.The last thing I saw was startled Aleena running towards me.***Waking up, the first thing that welcomed me was a convulsing black ceiling.‘Ah, my head hurts.’“Darius, are you awake?”“Hannah.”‘Hmm, it seems we are in the car.’I thought, looking around.“You suddenly collapsed like that. We thought something had happened. Are you okay now?”“Yeah. I used a little bit too much mana than normal; it is probably because of that.”“Yes, you did. Your legs are swollen, as well.”“Well, we all know why that is.”Turning my head to Anya and Hari, I said.“Hahaha,
‘This place is good.’With my talent [Parkour], reaching the top of a building was not that hard.‘I am glad I trained my talent in the last five months.’Thinking that, I took my position, taking Arcum Lunae out, and started waiting for an opportunity to come.‘Hmm, in the game, they were pretty hard to deal with, not because they were strong but because they are very good at slipping away.’‘Two E-ranks, four F-ranks, and two G-ranks.’Since they were the villains of the first questline, they didn’t have a huge amount of strength. But their deal is their expertise at escaping since almost all of them have origins related to criminal organizations, be it thievery, banditry, drug selling, or assassination.‘Hmm, there are five.’Immediately activating my [Metavision], I started observing the five closely.“HE-! Mm……”And there, I saw a woman being suspended by one of the men in the group.The man holding the neck of the woman started choking her, and after a while later, she lost her
Jennie Cortez. Her life was always a mess. Being born as an orphan in a country that has a lot of corruption, she needed to feed herself in the midst of all those vultures trying to take a bite from her. In a place where she hadn’t had anyone to depend on, she always tried her best to survive. To see a better world than she was in. And to do that, she sometimes stole, sometimes killed, sometimes lied, sometimes deceived. However, if there was one thing she never did, it was to sell her body. ‘I would rather kill myself than sell my body.’ She thought while she was young. However, this world was sick, and she learned it too late. The moment a noble put his filthy eyes on her, the purity she tried so hard to protect was already on the way to being lost. At that moment, she thought, is this how it works? We, poor people, are working so hard, and those nobles are just stealing. And they are doing it in daylight with nobody to oppose them. At that moment, she thought, this worl
“You are just like him…. You are beautiful….”“Is that so?”At that moment, I didn’t feel anything at all.I have constantly been monitoring them from a distance. And I knew their leader would come.In the first place, they were not even strong and experienced people. An experienced one would always leave those two on their own or kill them.There are several reasons for that, but two are apparent.First, they had already come to light the moment someone attacked them like this. Which means the guards and detectives will come after them. So, the rest immediately needed to leave the city the moment they got the news that their plan had failed.However, if they decide to save their comrades instead of leaving, then this will happen.The moment they came with the car, I immediately attacked the guy beside the girl piercing his neck.And then, before they got rid of the shock, I sent four arrows to the tires of the car, making them blow out.The rest was obvious. I massacred everyone left
In the end, I stayed with Hannah for the rest of the morning.We didn’t do anything aside from some cuddling. Although I still like staying alone, feeling a woman’s touch was not a bad thing either.If I pushed Hannah at that time and didn’t pull her towards me, from this point on, our relationship would get a lot awkward.She would start feeling insecure, and the things she will do in the future will no longer be predictable enough.So, in order to keep her mind clean, I needed to pull her with me and show her my decision.In the first place, it is not a bad idea to do that either.The possessive feeling I am getting every time I see Hannah looking at me, every time she is around others, I no longer need to suppress that too much.Although, still, showing too much possessiveness would be creepy, and I won’t do that. In the end, here, I am not collecting a Pokémon or something.Anyway, after Hannah left the room, I started checking the rewards of the quest.In the first place, since t
In the first place, being alone is when I am comfortable, at least while I am in times of danger.It makes everything less complicated. Although that doesn’t mean teams are useless or they are bad. It is just if the team you are joining is temporary, then it might be worse than being alone.On my way, I decided to check my status and the progress of my quests.StatusRank – F-Strength – F-Agility – F+Constitution – F-Intelligence – FMana – F+Traits???PerfectionistSociopathic BehaviorObserverCalm MindFrozen HeartTalentsArithmetic – %43Geometric Eyesight - %43Foresight –%21Materialization - %48Parkour – %44Marksman –%43Fencing - %21Frost Magician - %2????????Quests {Evolve the Arcum Lunae.}You need to evolve your growth-type weapon.Kill 10000 enemies with it.Enemies killed 702/10000‘I am certainly progressing fast.

In the first place, this is how a ranger needs to deal with enemies who are strong at close range.Dragging the fight while slowly damaging the enemy was the course of action I was taking.After killing those two, the rest of the fight was pretty monotonous.Until my kill count reached a certain number, I fired an arrow from a distance, then changed my positions, then fired again, then changed my position again.However, even though Barbarians are dumb, they are still living beings who manage to live. They, too, have a mind, although less functioning than a normal person.When the number of remaining Barbarians reached single-digit numbers, they started gathering in the middle of the settlement.They were no longer leaving the place and were sticking together, abandoning their pride.Which means to kill them, I simply needed to wait.Wait for them to run out of patience.However, I didn’t have enough time to do such a thing. In the first place, the reason why I am raiding a dungeon al
