Not too bright, are ya?
"Only 100, huh..."
Kaden wasn't exactly wowed by the damage number, but hey, it was a start. He took a deep breath, adjusted his stance, and gave himself a little pep talk. All he had to do was rinse and repeat to grind out this jerk of a serpent.
With five health potions and a stash of cookies on hand for refilling his stamina, Kaden psyched himself up. "I got this!" He positioned himself in front of yet another tree, ready to reenact the whole scenario.
As the serpent lunged once more, Kaden swiftly dodged to the side, narrowly avoiding its venomous fangs. The result? The damn thing smacked its head against the tree again, losing another chunk of health.
The serpent hissed in pain, momentarily disoriented from the second blow. It seemed not only hurt but also dizzy as a drunken monkey.
Kaden seized the opportunity and quickly made his way to another tree, this one adorned with thorny vines. The snake, even more infuriated than before, charged at him like a bull on steroids.
Kaden grinned and, once again, sidestepped at the last moment. The big, ugly green monster crashed right into the tree trunk, getting scratched up real bad this time.
"Not too bright, are ya?" Kaden taunted the beast.
Without a shred of mercy, he repeated the tactic, luring the serpent into a collision course with the trees again and again.
Each impact dealt damage, gradually wearing down the serpent's health. The damage numbers kept piling up like a stack of pancakes.
But the fight was not yet over. The serpent, growing increasingly frustrated, switched up its attack pattern, trying to outsmart Kaden and avoid the trees.
When its health dropped to 50%, the serpent decided it had enough of that pond and fully emerged out of it. The beast started attacking Kaden with everything it had.
Time seemed to blur as Kaden engaged in this epic struggle. Sweat dripped down his face, his muscles screamed in protest, and fatigue threatened to make him its bitch.
The serpent's attacks were relentless, and one wrong move could send Kaden straight to the respawn point. He knew that a single misstep could turn the tide in favor of the serpent.
But he pressed on, refusing to back down. Finally, after a grueling series of crashes, strikes, and dodges, the serpent's health reached critical levels. It writhed in desperation, its movements growing sluggish and feeble.
Kaden saw his chance and pounced, attacking the snake from all sides. He quickly discovered that the beast's underbelly was its weak spot.
With his last ounce of strength, he unleashed a flurry of blows, targeting the vulnerable area with precision. Blood pooled near the small pond, and the snake let out a final, agonizing hiss before collapsing lifelessly to the ground.

Several notifications popped up one after the other, and Kaden stood panting, covered in sweat and dirt, his heart pounding in his chest.
He had done it! He had actually done it! The battle had been grueling and intense, but he had persevered.
As he caught his breath, Kaden took a moment to assess his surroundings. The small pond where the battle had taken place was now tainted with the serpent's blood. The once serene atmosphere had transformed into a scene of gore
He then turned his attention to the corpse of the serpent. There were some items glittering nearby the dead body.
Kaden's eyes widened with anticipation as he carefully collected the loot and examined it. There were seven silver coins, and along with it, there were also three other items.
