6 down 4 more to go!

Ryan slowly moved away from the danger zone and used his senses to locate another safe spot at a good distance away from the boars and his previous hunting area. This way, he wouldn't be disturbed by beasts and men alike.

He found a tall tree and slumped down under it with a sigh, tiredness slowly starting to get the better of him. He felt his entire body ache somewhere on the inside, and it was as if he wouldn't be able to take another step forward in this condition.

"Should I just log out and sleep it off?" He wondered as he absent-mindedly opened his status screen. The past several minutes had been extremely intense, but he had also gained a lot from it.

Ryan felt excitement bubbling in his tired bones as he began looking through the status screen. Slowly a grin started forming on his face.

"Not bad. Not bad at all." Ryan clicked his tongue in satisfaction. Not only had he gained a whole bunch of skills, but he had also leveled these up a little. 

Moreover, he now had an actual skill related to his 'special' class, with which he could do actual damage.

"Good stuff." He chuckled as he thought about the two who had helped him a lot by putting everything on the fast track. 

On his own, perhaps it would have taken him a lot more time to stumble onto something like this. Maybe he wouldn't even have unlocked it at all. 

Thanks to those two pushing his limits, he was able to get here quickly, but why were they after him in the first place?

Now that Ryan thought about it, he felt very weird about the whole thing. People looking down on him or people being dickheads, and calling him names, making fun of his disability, all of these were not new to him. 

However, this was something new. That priest girl acted as if they had some sort of unforgivable enmity between them. They had barely met once, so why was she so obsessed with putting him down?

Ryan scratched his head, but no matter how much he thought about it, he couldn't understand the weirdo. Maybe some people were just built like that, with too much pride and hatred.

As for him, he would never allow anything like that to cloud his heart or mind. It was simply not worth it. He had far bigger problems in his life right now.

And talking about problems, his gaze shifted back to take a look at his two special unique skills. It was time to take care of these two problematic skills. 

Ryan ended up not logging out and taking an hour or so of rest while still inside the game. 

Perhaps it would have been better for him to take a nap outside of the game, but then there would be the added headache of finding blood for his thirst every twenty minutes. He couldn't possibly attack that drunkard for the second time in a single day.

So, in the end, he decided to simply enjoy the nice clean, fresh air inside the game and spent the hour thinking about various things while enjoying the scenery. In between, he found himself a couple of lone dire wolves to drink blood from and quenched his thirst.

In the meantime, he also managed to make a plan for the near future to deal with the biggest problem he had, his 'Curse of the Abyss'.

Out of the required three common rank beasts, three elite rank beasts, three rare rank beasts, and one chieftain rank beast, thanks to the two idiots, he had already managed to take care of the three common rank beasts and the three elite rank beasts.

After this, only the three rare rank beasts and the chieftain rank beast were left. 

Earlier, he had no confidence in dealing with powerful beasts like this, which required an entire party consisting of several players to take care of, but now he had an actual skill under his belt, so he was a lot more confident, at least for the rare rank beasts.

And if he was not able to achieve this, then there was always the other path. He could power-level his way up the ladder and then safely target a lower-level rare rank beast. 

The curse only specified the rank and didn't mention the level. This was a big loophole that he could make use of.

In reality, apart from these two plans of action, he also had another trick up his sleeve, but he did not want to use this unless the situation was extremely dire.

Ryan grinned as he stood up, dusted his back, and dove right back into his hunt again.
