Level 101 (1)

After pondering for a while, Adam then went outside his apartment, towards the market to buy resources especially food, mana potion, and some necessities.

He also bought some health potion, though he might not need it as he had a large amount of health, but it wouldn't hurt to have some precaution right?

Likewise, he also bought an antidote as the monster he was planning to hunt, had poison damage, hence an antidote was indeed necessary in case of unforeseen events...

Soon, after buying everything that he might need, he then went towards the accessory store. It was to buy a storage ring!

At the store, Adam was currently looking at the different accessory items on display, or rather, only three kinds of accessories.

As mentioned before, accessories were considered as a rare item, thus, the number of such items was indeed low and mostly being dominated by large Guilds and Royalties.

The three items on display were a storage ring, necklace, and bracelet, which were all E-rating, hence, Adam was not attracted to the item by even a bit.

'Can't I just get an item from my miscellaneous ticket? And possibly an SSS-grade item at top of that!'

Hence, Adam just paid attention to the E-rating storage ring which cost 20,000 pesos (412 $) and only had 10 square meters of space inside.

Nonetheless, Adam chose to buy the storage ring through the item it could accommodate was limited.

'Its better than nothing'

Soon, he placed all his stuff inside the storage ring and took a step towards the carriage stations.

-------

After half an hour of travel, towards East of Batangas City, Adam now finally managed to arrive at his chosen hunting ground. He then looked towards the sign on its entrance...

'Dark Wolves hunting ground'

As mentioned, it was a zone where Dark Wolves resided...

They were monsters known for their speed and just looked the same as wolves on Earth, with the only difference being too dark and twice the size.

Hence, Chosen commonly avoid this kind of monster due to its high agility.

But of course, that was not the case with Adam...

He chose this hunting ground as he was fascinated by the Dark Wolf's agility...

As for the reason why he loved it that much? It was because the faster the wolves were, the faster his killing speed would be!

Besides, wolves tended to travel in groups hence, Adam wouldn't need to waste time searching and killing Dark wolves one by one.

And lastly, Adam planned to test his new skill 'Monster- Duplicator' and used these Dark Wolves as an experimental subject.

Soon, he began to enter the hunting ground which was devoid of human presence...

Unlike Gigantic Ants hunting ground, Dark Wolves hunting ground was a wide forest where various eerie howling could be heard...

'howl!!!'

Though the sound was somehow eerie, Adam however maintained a smirked, as for why?

'I can hear it!'

He can hear the sound of dozens of Dark Wolves nearby!

And as he expected, a group of Dark Wolves consisted of 5, appeared from the dense forest...

'howl! howl!', howled by the level 200 Dark wolves

Nevertheless, Adam was still unbothered as he immediately enunciated a word...

'Greed.', Adam uttered composedly

After the summon, Greed appeared and instantly knelt to Adam...

Hence, Adam issued his command...

"Play with them!", Adam chuckled as he began to supply a hefty amount of mana to Greed.

Soon, he stopped inserting mana when reached 500,000 as it was more than enough to 'play' with the monsters

Hence, another monster genocide occurred at the Dark Wolves hunting ground...

------

At the same time, on another hunting ground somewhere in Luzon kingdom, a young girl was fighting a level 58 'Ice Troll' head-on.

A beast woman could be seen in the area as well, looking at the Ice Troll with a killing intent...

She was the same beast woman being sold on the auction before. And the young girl beside her was her master named, Charyl.

Charyl was also one of the three members of the fourth batch of Chosen who obtained an A-rating during the trial, the same with William and Ken.

Likewise, she also joined the Missus Guild, one of the 5 largest Guild as well, which were primarily composed of women.

The best woman beside her which she named Dulcy, was a gift given to her by her Guild master during the auction.

She was also a proud ice magician, hence, she hunted in this icy region where her strength was greatly boosted, and be honed in this cold aura.

Soon, the monster she was fighting was killed as the concentration of ice spike fell from the sky, killing the Ice Troll within one- hit!

'Stronger... I got to be stronger!', she thought firmly...

At the other hunting grounds, the same scene could be observed as Chosen hunted diligently, as for the reason?

It's because of the feeling of inferiority they experienced recently. Hence, they began hunting and gaining power more actively...

'1 month, ... I got to be strong within that 1 month!', they all thought simultaneously as they were forbidden to log off for 1 month...

-------

Back to Dark Wolves hunting ground.

Greed instantly lunged on the group of Dark Wolves as soon as he heard Adam's command...

The level 200 Dark Wolves might be agile compared to its peers, but alas! It lagged far behind when compared to the now 500,000 mana- powered Greed.

Hence, the first member of the unfortunate group died helplessly with just a brandished Greed's sword

Adam was still smirking at the fabulous scene when suddenly, an announcement interrupted him...

[ You have killed level 200 Dark Wolves ]

'ding!'

[ Due to cross-ranking kill of 1 major level difference, the first effect of SSS-grade Title 'The One Who Never Bowed Down' is now unlocked ]

'ohh!', Adam uttered bewilderedly...

He then checked the SSS-grade title again...
