5 Chapter 5
/Gaaahhhhh/
The kobold lunges at Eren claw extended trying to rip him to pieces, but he sidestepped and slashed his sword at the arm of kobold cutting the skin and beneath but misses to remove the hand fully.
The kobold growled in pain and anger and launched it's assault in more furiousness, snapping it's claws at Eren but he dodged and parried each blow as his arm begin to hurt from the force the monster is exerting.
Getting a chance to strike Eren went for it but the kobold dodged the attack and for his mistake Eren got clawed deep on his shoulder as he jumped back making a distance between him and the monster. Blood dropped from his shoulder and he knew he has to end this fight fast as his body is not good enough that he can lose any blood in the middle of the fight.
Eren rushed forward with sword at his side for a powerful blow, seeing this kobold also lunges at him, both claws and sword clashes together and the kobold is winning because of the body weight. Eren struggling to keep sword steady, standing on one leg and with other foot he hit at the monster knee staggering it and the weight on his body vanishes. Immediately taking advantage of this Eren used overhead strike and cut the monster from shoulder to chest. The kobold howls in agony as Eren taking out the sword slashes at his neck making the monster vanish in puff of smoke.
'Man, dangerous fights take a lot out of you.'

"Hah.. my guess huff... was right huff... huff.."
I think system is doing the work of god's blood when they update excelia of adventures whereas I get experience after finishing a fight. Not much but I am getting little by little even in training when I push myself. I don't think human progress this fast but with system I just have to train and fight all day and I will progress. Yes I have to train harder then yesterday and fight harder fight then previously but that's the price for becoming the strongest.
"Enough rest let's do it again"
Again as soon as the monster took it's form it lunges towards Eren with claws in front trying to take a chunk of meat off from him. Eren used his sword to parry the claw strike, shoulder pushed the kobold on his chest to lose its footing and the monster fall on the floor.
As Eren jumped at the chance to thrust his sword at kobolds chest, the monster took the chance of Eren on the air to kick him on the face, the force from the kick to the head throw Eren back on the ground losing his sword.
As he is reeling from the kick on the ground, seeing stars if front of his eyes the monster jumped on top of him clawed at his chest. The pain flaring from the chest brings Eren back to focus, his eyes on the kobold as the monster went for another claw strike.
Seeing this he brought his hand and feet together to block the strike on his vulnerable places but suffers it on his forearms and his legs. Seeing the human not dying from his continuous hits, the monster hit Eren on the open side of his defense, the kidney with powerful strike and sent him flying.
Eren tumbles onto the ground like a skipping stone on water people throw for fun, coming to a halt a distance away from the monster.
'ugh...…..get up'
'get up… get up… get up… get up… get up… get up… get up… get up… get up… '
'GGGEEEETTTTTT UUUUPPPPPP'
Eren willed his whole body to stand up otherwise he will die here.
Stumbling he stand up with blood dripping from all over his body especially his chest and kidney area he looked up to see the monster charging at him.
"Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa"
Looking at the monster all the anger that he became like this, resentment from why didn't he practice more before fighting he muster all his strength, magic everything into a fist and as the monster inches away from him to take a bite of his head he punched at kobolds head blowing away the head and the shoulder of the monster before it went up in smoke.
Falling to the ground on his back bloody body and one broken wrist and fingers he is struggling to retrieve potion from his inventory as he raised his hand in the air.
His body doesn't have any strength remaining. As he took out the potion it slips from his fingers onto his face. He open his mouth to catch the vial between his teeth the break the glass with his teeth making the potion fall into his mouth with the glass. He holds the broken glass with his tongue and the roof inside his mouth then opening his throat to gulp down the potion.
Turning his head to the side he opened his mouth make the glass fall out. After some energy returning in his body from the potion he broke down in tears with fear of how close he came to dying.
Taking out 3 more potions he put it on all of his wounds then laying down and putting the hand above his eyes he continues to sob.

After sobbing for 20 mins and getting it all out i stand up, pick up my sword went to a different place. Remembering the memory from Shigure Kosaka I again started to practice with my sword and continue doing it for remaining 30 mins.
"Huh.."
At last min room started to glow red with sound blearing, and on my panel countdown started. I put my sword in the inventory and sat down waiting. When countdown finished I am back in my room again, tired in both body and mind I stand up going to the bed and in a min sleep took over me.
Your HP is at 100%, your MP is at 100%.
Waking up the first thing i did muted this notification, looking at the time it's 5am.
Sitting at the counter with two big empty bowls of noodles and finished eating my fourth fried chicken piece I take the glass of orange juice drank it fully. I waved at the guy behind the counter pointing at my empty glass.
"Tough day in the dungeon?" The guy asked pouring me juice.
"Yeah something likes that"
This was my forth glass, after all I haven't eaten anything except 2 chocolate bars and some water in more than 20hrs. After 6hrs in the time chamber I came out and slept from the afternoon to the next day.
Here there's no timing to go to dungeon, like people who go deep in the dungeon come out at 1am or 3am at night. They would be hungry at that time so what will they do, go to bed hungry, no. There are restaurants which opens 24x7 with staff shift change, some open only in the morning, some at night some in the evening.
My money is getting on the low side and my adventure gear are shredded both pant and shirt, left with only one which I got from the treasure chest, and a sleep wear which I am currently wearing. My sword is in good condition, i don't know how long that will last but its good now.
"How much?" I asked wiping my face and hand with tissue.
"1700 valis" he replied.
"Do you know where can I buy tickets for Monster-Feria?" I asked paying him the money.
"Go to the Ganesha familia or the coliseum, they sell tickets on both locations. First time going there?" He asked.
"Yeah hasn't had the chance to see it yet so i am thinking going this year. Have you seen it?"
"Yes I have seen it in my younger days going with my friends seeing it and getting excited then going to the dungeon..."
"Are you an adventure?"
He made a face as if remembering something bad.
"Uhh…sorry, shouldn't have asked" I said regretting it.
"No it's fine and yeah I was an adventure but after something happened, I stopped and opened the restaurant."
He looks to be in his 30s or 40s and shape of muscles can be seen with the shirt he is wearing, he looks strong.
I think everyone in orario once in their life have gone to the dungeon.
"So what can I expect in there?"
"Adventures taming monsters."
"That's all"
"It's Monster-Feria kid, what do you expect adventure fighting each other. If you want that, then a war game will most likely be your best option but chances of that happening are low."
"Why?"
"No God wants to cross each other."
"Ohh.."
"If you want to watch better fight then you can go to Goliath monster floor on weekends there will be some familia taking it down or those people in rivira, but you are not ready to go that deep are you."
"No I am not."
"Do you have a party?"
"Hmmm..?"
"If you don't, then you should join one because in party you will get more experience in how to fight a monster and progress will be fast too."
"Hmmm..."
"Well I enjoyed the small talk so thanks for that"
"Heh.. you are the only one here right now so if I didn't talk then I would be just looking at you eating and that would have been awkward"
"You were doing that earlier though"
"Yeah I was afraid if you will choke on your food or not with the way you were gulping those down"
"Haha… well I am heading out. Have a good day." Saying, I stand up going outside.
"Yeah go and rest." He replied.
I went to the coliseum and there's a line behind the table where people are selling tickets, going to the last man in the line
"Sir, how long will the ticket be available to buy?" I asked the man.
"Monster-Feria is on the fourth day from now so up until then" he replied.
"Thanks" I said. Going through the market I bought some sweet potatoes some meet jerky, filled my empty bottles with tap water on the side of the road.
I came back to my room and put everything in the inventory. I opened the panel put the timing for 1 minute in the time chamber and vanished from my room.
Putting torn paper on the back of my head, chest, stomach, calf, knee, thigh, spine, putting anywhere it won't distract me, making them stick to my body, I started sword training.
"Huff... Huff..."
'I am getting stronger'. I closed my palm making a fist realizing i have been training for 2 hrs and still have some gas left in my body where's yesterday I tapped out after only half an hour.
Started imagining goblin and after 5 sec it came to life charging at me, moving my head sideway I punched it's head blowing it into bits as smoke dissipated.
I am using my punching and kicking the same way as ninja in Naruto use to walk on trees and water but with a little bit more magic so any punching or kicking from me have more power because of me imbued it with magic. But there's a caveat to this that my fist or foot hurts every time I do this, I think it's because I am not strong enough as I remembered everyone was level 1 when taking falna from the Gods but my level is still zero so I think god's blood have some role in it.
As I lay down to rest I started shifting through the panel. There are so many skills and items that I haven't even gone through the tip of the iceberg and there's no search bar or sorting...
'Wait...'
There's a small settings icon, I tapped on it
Sort by
Lowest cp to highest cp
Highest cp to lowest cp
I tap on lowest to highest CP in the items menu
"Bwa...hahaha....you motherfu**er, blindfu**, cun*". I started sniffing as I see top 5 things displaying on the menu
Beef burger x 100 - 1CP
Pizza x 50 - 1CP
Ice cream x 300 - 1CP
Fried chicken x 40 - 1CP
Pepsi x 200 1ltr - 1CP
...
As I scrolled down there were so many one CP cost items of food, drinks, snacks that I couldn't help but get emotional.
"Thank you system at least you don't want me starve to death".
I selected all 5 from the top and it came in my inventory, taking out burger I buy into it.
"Hmmm.... Same taste..."
2 Patty with 2 American cheese, mayonnaise mixed with hot sauce and bun.
"You don't know how much I missed you" I said to my burger as I kiss it and then took another bite finishing it on the third.
"Burp.."
After eating 1 burgers 1 pizza and drinking one liter of Pepsi I lay down to rest.
I started thinking about how I put all the masters from the strongest discipline series memory into my training as there was only 3 days left to buy the ticket for Monster-Feria.
'I should at least use the time chamber 100 times to learn all the fighting styles and after that only when I will fight other people or monsters will i gain experience in fighting, and that's how my first training ark started.
