As soon as I saw them, every cell of my body told to run.
As I was running, I desperately started thinking of what I should do to get out of this situation.
In the end, I will have to defeat them.
I took out my sword and stopped as I took two HP potions in my other hand.
The wolves surrounded and started circling .
One of the wolves jumped at , I tried to dodge by jumping to my left, but another wolf jumped at from the left.
I stopped and jumped backward without looking back. As I jumped, I tripped over sothing and fell on my back as my sword slipped out from my hand.
I saw the third wolf jumping at .
I rolled and grabbed my sword as I stood up.
"Co on, Das."
You can do it.
All the wolves jumped at at the sa ti. I crouched a little and analyzed their jump.
I quickly raised my sword and moved back swiftly as I swung the sword, which cut one of the wolves.
The wolf's HP went down to 3 %.
It looks like they are set to level 1 skill and stats.
The injured wolf fell near .
I imdiately slashed its neck, and soon after, the body disappeared. And so did the blood.
[Level increased]
"Level up?!"
[Level increased]
"By killing just one wolf?"
[The rewards were set for the high players. But since you are level 1, the rewards would look too much to you]
"I see."
So I guess I will be leveling up several tis.
There are two wolves left. And is it just , or do they look more furious now?
Are they angry that I killed their buddy?
Both of them jumped at at the sa ti; I didn't know where to dodge.
"Heh!" I smirked as I tried to analyze their jump again.
I guess they are programs, after all. I will just analyze everything and...what the--!
I can't analyze this jump.
Will they land on the right? Or will they jump over and attack?
I can't figure it out.
Their trajectory motion is...I can't do it after all!
I ran to find a better place to kill them.
"I leveled up two tis; that ans I am level 3 now, right?"
[Yes]
"So why am I still running this slow?!"
[You suck]
"I don't suck. And I don't need to run in the real world every day. And I am sure I can run ten tis faster in the real world. This ga sucks!"
Ten tis might be an exaggeration, but I can run up to 4 tis faster! Okay...3 tis faster than I am running right now.
After running for a while, I reached a dead end.
There was a cliff in front of . I walked near the cliff and tried to look down,
"Nope"
I was scared of heights, and if I fell from here, I would die. I looked back to see those two wolves coming my way...slowly.
"Dammit!"
I should have run the other way.
If they both ca at at the sa ti, I would die.
I can't dodge backward; if I do, I will fall.
I can either jump on the right or the left. But if both of them jump at the sa ti...
I grabbed my sword and said, "I will just have to move forward."
Both of them jumped at at the sa ti.
I imdiately dashed forward and jumped on the rock, stabbing one of the wolves in the stomach.
"Aw, shit!"
My sword is stuck!
I tried to pull my sword, but before I could do that, the wolf swung its claw at and sent flying as I slamd into the wall.
Why didn't it work this ti?
I quickly killed the first wolf, and I am sure I was using more strength-- "I see!"
My level increased, so his stats increased too.
That just ans the more I level up, the stronger they will get.
And if I reach a certain level, they will eventually beco invincible.
I got up and said, "So I just have to defeat them before I reach a certain level.
Though I have no idea what that particular level is.
My HP went down to 63 just by getting slamd into the wall.
I used 2 HP potions to max my health again.
I glanced at the injured wolf, who looked more furious than before.
My attack must have hurt it enough.
I gazed at its health bar to expect so damage, but it had only taken 7 damage.
I have to attack the wolf in the sa way 14 more tis to kill it.
"But..." I glanced at my sword, which was sticking out from the wolf's stomach.
I touched my dagger and said, "I still have this."
I took out the dagger and waited for the wolf's next move.
The injured wolf dashed at , and I raced at it.
As soon as the wolf tried to jump, I slid down and grabbed my sword, and the montum did the rest.
[Level increased]
"Hmm."
I stood up and said, "So they can't regenerate."
I thought they might regenerate or sothing. But I guess I am using my mind too much,, and it's making look stupid.
I glanced at the last wolf as I tightened my grip on the sword.
I was ready for its attack, but instead of moving forward at , it was moving backward.
"Is it retreating?" I questioned myself.
It was moving backward steadily. The look in its eyes showed no sign of fear.
"What if he calls for backup? I should finish him here quickly."
If I kill more, I will level up. And I want to avoid that.
I dashed at him with a sword in my hands, but he jumped and dodged .
"Now,, this is bad."
Behind were piles of rocks, the sa on my left and right side.
"I can't dodge now!"
The wolf charged at . I couldn't dodge backward, I couldn't avoid to my right or my left, so the only thing I could do is charge forward. I know it's risky, but it's better than doing nothing and dying helplessly.
I leaped forward, and the wolf slamd into the piles of rocks and got buried under it.
And they are supposed to be adaptive monsters?
"It wasn't that hard."
[Did you receive the 'level up' ssage?]
"I didn't"
[So the wolf must be alive.]
"It is not given that I would level up every ti by killing a monster."
[Why don't you try stabbing your sword in that gap.]
I stabbed my sword in that gap.
[A New Skill Acquired]
"Skill?"
[Wow, you got your first skill.]
Yet again, the pixie was flying in front of .
"Where the hell were you when I was being attacked?"
[I can't help you with the fight, so I was--]
"Watching die."
[I wasn't, I was cheering you on]
"Oh, you were?"
She nodded while pouting.
"So I got a new skill, how can I use it?" I questioned.
[Equip that skill.]
I opened the nu and checked the skill chart...
"Runner!"
[That's the skill na]
"So I got this because I was running?"
Or is it sothing like a reward?
[No, you get monster abilities as skill when you kill them.]
"You an I can run faster now.."
[You can't if you suck anyway.]
"Shut up!" I tried to grab the pixie, but she flew up.
"Let's go."
[Yeah, let's go defeat that boss.]
"I was talking about, 'Let's go and hide.'"
[Why?]
"Why, you ask? Because I don't want to die. I will just wait until maintenance ends."
I don't think I can fight any more monsters.
It's too tiring.
[But you can't go out unless you clear this floor.]
"Hah?"
[But you can get out of here if you die.]
"Okay, let's go and die."
[It will hurt, you know?]
Dammit!
I have to die to get out from here or clear this floor. And there is one option which leads to both.
"Let's go and defeat that boss."
I will either die there and get out of here. Or defeat that boss, and get out of here.
