[Ding! Your daily mission, kill 6 beast monsters before the day ends]
"What?!" I exclaid. "It's getting late already, there's no way you really expect to go kill six beast monsters at this ti".
[Penalty for failure is death]
I sighed, of course the system would threaten with death. I supposed it was just as well, after all the system gave this life, it could take it anyti it wanted and no one would cry injustice.
I looked at my profile again.

I had slightly improved stats from the fight I had the previous day, I should be able to survive.
There was one other thing I had that I didn't have the previous day, I had a burning drive to slay as many beast monsters as I needed to slay to gain my mana points.
It was just as well that the system was forcing to kill them, I would kill them anyway.
I looked outside, the sun would set soon and darkness would descend on the town, I had to run to the forest and get my six kills before then.
I looked around the room for the knife Emily gave yesterday, she had decided to leave it with , she said it was the instrunt of my first kill and I should be allowed to keep it. I wondered if she knew I would be walking back to the forest to fight more beasts, would she still give the knife?
I found the knife on the drawer. Actually, it had slipped between the edge of the drawer and wall and it hung loosely there. I pulled it out and put it in my pocket.
Then I took off running. Speed was an important part of the day's mission, ti was not on my side and darkness would soon fall.
As I stepped out of the house I almost ran into Ava, I moved out of the way in ti and kept running, I didn't have ti to stop and properly apologize.
"Sorry!" I yelled as I ran.
She looked at with perplexion written on her face. "Where are you running to at this ti?!" she asked.
"I'll be back soon!" I shouted in reply.
It was honestly a la and uninformative response to her question and I felt bad about not telling her where I was going but I didn't have much of a choice, it wasn't like I could tell her 'hey, so I'm actually running to the forest to kill six beasts or else I'll die by midnight'.
I got to the forest slightly out of breath since I ran nonstop till I got there.
As I walked into the forest, I rembered what Emily told the previous day, she said it was rare to encounter beasts in the forest on a normal day. If I found six beasts today, that would an her fears were right and sothing was wrong with the forest.
For my sake, I hoped her fears were right. I didn't have to hope for too long as a low growl sounded in the bushes to my left.
I imdiately spinned so I was facing the direction the growl ca from.
The bushes ruffled and I held the knife tighter in my hand. I felt a little tremor travel through my body and I wasn't surprised by it. While I knew my attributes had increased and I was in better condition to kill the beast, it was still only my second kill and I couldn't help but feel a little nervous.
The beast this ti wasn't a red eyed wolf, it was a wild cat. This cat stood three feet high, It's brown fur had several splashes of brown, it's ears were extra long and pointy and they twitched as it eyed curiously. It's eyes were brown in color and they tracked my every move, it's long whiskers ruffled in the wind but most distinctive of all was it's tail.
It was long, stretching to almost three feet.
The long tail cat stalked towards and hissed repeatedly.
Hisss!!
I studied the cat carefully. I knew cats were so of the apex predators for good reason. They were fast and very agile, they possessed great muscle control and can move their body in different directions at will, as well as stop or start moving at speed. Compared to this cat, the wolf I killed yesterday was way easy. I knew I would struggle to kill the beast.
The cat seed to have finished sizing up, it hissed and leaped at . It's hindlegs were very strong and it leaped higher than the wolf yesterday. I tid my move and jumped out of the way just in ti.
The cat hissed, frustrated that it didn't get , another thing about cats was that they weren't patient creatures and were quick to get irritated if they didn't get what they wanted on ti.
I held my knife steady and prepared for another attack from the cat but I was to be surprised. Instead of running at again, it shot fire from its mouth at .
I jumped out of the way but the cat didn't give ti to land, it imdiately launched itself at . It was too late to avoid contact with it so I twisted and put the knife near my neck where I knew the cat would bite, the other hand was flexed, ready to push the cat away.
It leaped at and as expected it tried to bite my neck but it t only the sharp knife, the cat hissed as the knife sliced it's jaw a little. I used the opportunity to push it away from .
The cat landed on the floor a few feet away from , it's jaw was bleeding and it seed shocked to see it's blood, it hissed and stood still.
Then I realized, it wasn't standing still, it was licking the blood. Why would a cat lick its own blood? I wondered, unless it wasn't it's own blood.
Then I felt a sharp stinging pain on my wrist, I looked down and my stomach turned.
I was bleeding!
