14 - Let the game begin!

After the incident of the 5 male trainees on the army ground, they were soon later fired for their misconduct and for ruining the army's reputation. Furthermore, camera footage has caught evidence of their wrong doing to their general (Rosalia) so it's doubtful that they would go anywhere.

[Well, that is what you get for messing with my sis!] Mickaila internally scoffed once again. Despite how Mickaila' appearance doesn't look dominant, he still has a soft spot for his sister and can sometimes be overprotective.

Remembering his past, there was a time when his sister was played by a playboy and even when Rosalia pretended she was alright, Mickaila knew that she must be suffering and as for the boy who did this to his sister. Well...let's just say he would never be seen around her again.

Coming back to his present self, just after finishing off his daily quest and looking at his surroundings. And without him knowing when he was wandering in his thoughts, he reached to a close-by mountain near his house. Knowing his sister won't be back until tomorrow morning due to military training, he saw that it was still morning and decided this was the best time to use the key he got from the night walker.

[Do you want to activate the portal?

(Yes) (No)]

After confirming his choice a portal soon appeared in front of him, he took a deep breath before taking a step forward with his weapons within his grasp. As soon as he went inside, the portal that transported him over disappeared from behind him whilst a screen notification appeared,

|Dear player,

You are now within the monster's den, if you want to leave you must first defeat their boss, failure to do so means death!|

[why does this scene look so familiar?] Mickaila internally mumbled remembering back to the first time he got the system causing him to uncontrollably hiss at the scene of his death once again.

"Whatever, it's not like I'm going to die easily this time." he said out loud with confidence laced in his voice. Glancing over his surroundings, he knows that he was within the monsters den due to the environment he was in, he could sense some movement from further inside the cave, looking around and touching the muddy surface of the cave which felt quite warm meaning he must be underground and there wasn't any wind blowing through the cave like tunnel confirming that he wasn't on land and that there may not be any exit to the outside world [well, that is unless you dig however seeing how dry the mud is, I doubt my equipment would help me that much] he thought sighing once again.

Knowing that Mickaila has nowhere to run, he decided to itch forward from his position towards his enemies that was right ahead with both his hands tightly gripping onto his weapons, ready to attack at any time when needed.

Just when he was approaching his enemies, he sensed movement from behind, quickly spinning around and slashed down whatever did a sneak attack upon him, turning around to the dead creature he saw a green snake lying on the ground.

|You have defeated the poisonous snake (3)|

|Exp would be rewarded|

"GROWL!!!" a sound was heard from behind, Mickaila instantaneously twisted his body around facing a herd of mean looking red wolves that was itching for a fight. "Well, well, well. It seems I have my work cut out for me" Mickaila said with a hostile smirk on his face. And with another growl from the largest wolf with a scar over it's right eye, the rest of the wolves started to attack whilst Mickaila didn't back down and charged towards them with the same intent to kill.

"Slash...Stab...hit...splatter..." sounds of his enemies being slaughtered by him one after another

|Congratulations, you've defeated a sabertooth wolf (2-3)| x9

|Exp would be rewarded| x9

|Congratulations, you have levelled up| x2

After killing 9 wolves, more kept on coming and for some reason, with each group of wolves it became harder for Mickaila to give a direct hit to kill them instantly, knowing how each group is stronger than another, Mickaila was fumed with excitement, the excitement of wanting to fight more.

|Congratulations, you've defeated a sabertooth wolf (2)| x12

|Exp would be rewarded| x12

"HOWL!" the sound of their leader's voice was heard, causing the group of wolves to retreat revealing their boss, the wolf with a scar on his right eye approached Mickaila with a strong aura spreading out of its body causing the rest to shiver and back down, and unlike the other wolves, this one circled around Mickaila as if it he was a predator calculating the correct time to pounce on its prey. Mickaila focused his attention on the wolf circling him, concentrating on his movement until the time the wolf made its first move whilst staring at it straight in the eyes.

And within a split second the wolf disappeared from his sight as if by magic, quickly Mickaila got into a defensive stance searching around the area for any slight movement to indicate it's whereabouts knowing that it is quite speedy on its toes.

Focusing on his hearing, he could hear small paw prints touching the ground however it was really faint and they were all over the place, [Damn!] he swore, knowing the rest of the wolves are helping to disguise their boss' whereabouts which took a toll on Mickaila's senses.

Taking a deep breath, he opened his eyes again and knowing how his senses aren't on par to that of the wolves, he knew he would have to wait until the wolf revealed itself before Mickaila could make his next move.

"CLAW!" Mickaila dropped onto the floor with one leg kneeling down whilst he gasped for the pain inflicted onto his back, he hissed as the blood trickled down but nevertheless he stood up not paying any mind to it since he has a more serious matter to handle.

Loosening his grip on the blades he was holding within his hands, he grabbed out a hard metal whip he got from his sister and with his left arm he swung it around his surroundings hitting anything in sight with no care.

Soon, hitting something with a hard body, Mickaila stopped looking over to reveal the boss laying on the floor in an attempt to stand up.

Standing over it, he looked down on the wolf who gave a menacing look at Mickaila, "you know I should've done that ages ago" as a evil smile came upon his features as if he wanted blood, bringing out his long sword, he stabbed right down into the wolf's heart instantly killing it and within a few seconds it disappeared.

|Congratulations, you have defeated a sabertooth wolf (1)|

|Exp would be rewarded|

|You have now levelled up|

'Wait so that isn't the boss?' he questioned, 'Of course not, the boss wouldn't be easily defeated by you!' the system scoffed.

Whilst the other wolves surrounding him whimpered and howled for their comrades death before growling and all charging forward towards Mickaila, "that's how I like it, come at me!" he baited, and just as the herd was within a 5 metres radius he smirked,

|Skill: Encase

Level: 1

Status: Active|

Using his long sword and speed, he slashed down the ones closest to him but still 5 seconds wasn't enough, as soon as the time was up he knew he couldn't risk using all of his mana or else he would lose the chance of defeating the boss. And without another choice, he clutched onto 2 sharp blades and dashed towards the rest of the wolves, fighting them in a life or death situation.

~5 minutes later~

|Congratulations, you have defeated a sabertooth wolf (2-3)| x 24

|Exp would be rewarded| x24

|You have now levelled up|

Collapsing onto the ground breathing heavily trying to catch his breath with sweat pouring down with his fatigue catching upon him.

Steadying his breathing, he could sense more monsters approaching him and this time it wouldn't be easy to defeat.

"So now it's a battle of life and death" a glint of excitement reached his eyes as he stood up from his position, "let the game begin!"
