I plan to exit the jungle as early as possible. It's already 2 dayssince I entered this dense jungle.
Currently I am resting in a cave which used to be a bear's but I killed it and also the sun is about to go down. So I decided to rest the night in the cave as it's dangerous to travel in a jungle at night.
In these 2 days, I ran into some brown rabbit and one snow rabbit and some other animals too.
Brown rabbit was about 2 foot with sharpened teeth and small ears.
I used the dagger I created and to kill those monsters.
When the rabbit saw me, it charged at me. Looks like they are aggressive in nature. If I want to survive, I have to fight.
I prepared myself for the fight.
The rabbit was fast, so I took some time to get used to its speed. When I got used to its speed, I stood in front of the tree. I have confidence in my jumping ability. I just to play basketball in high school and among players I was recognized as highest jumper.
So i prepared my mind for battle.
The rabbit charged at me with its full speed; I waited for the exact moment to jump.
I jumped out of the way and the rabbit dashed with the tree.
I repeated this process 3-4 times and rabbit lost its consciousness.
I waited for 2-3 mins and upon confirming it will not attack me; I moved towards it and stabbed the dagger in its neck.
It died instantly.
I was glad that I killed it without getting hur and it was then twhen I saw a SNOW RABBIT.
I gave him the name snow rabbit because It was as white as snow. its teeth were sharp just like brown rabbit and it had huge ears.
I killed it in similar fashion like brown rabbit but something seems strange.
I can move faster and jump higher now. I also got used to its speed easily.
However I needed to stab it 2 times in order to kill it.
I was relaxing after the battle when....
A grassy smell filled my lungs when I breathed. It felt soothing.
I strolled through the forest.
「Kuwaaiiii」
Something came out.
Un, how do I put it?…
What is this thing?!
it's about half my height.
Is this a caterpillar? How can it be so big?
While I was lost in my thoughts, it's green body started wriggling 'furu furu' as it jumped into the air.
The green caterpillar initiated a flying body attack...Surreal.
There is, huh?
I did it! The discovery that monsters possess skills is a big one.
Should I give up for now?
I back-stepped to dodge the flying body attack of the opponent. From the intensity with which its body hit the ground, it didn't seem to be a heavy blow.
It jumped again――
For this, I don't need my sword. After confirming the trajectory of its flight, I launched a kick.
Bam!
By the time I felt the impact on my leg, the caterpillar's body had bent . Furthermore, with its body bent acutely, the caterpillar was shot away and got nailed into the tree trunk.
Ah, ugly――Its body fluids splattered on the spot and sent me into nostalgia.
Therefore...Un, this...is terrible...isn't it? Isn't it?
In fact, there was no feeling of it evading the attack.
This change of heart...is perhaps owing to the reincarnation.
Without wasting time, I collected the antenna growing on the splattered caterpillar's head.
I cleaved it with the help of my sword.
As I was finding my way out of the forest,
「Gyagiiii」
The speed of the opponent closing in while shrieking was, as expected, slow.
Even though it was slow, the short sword in its hand was legit.
The Small Goblin tried to stab me with its sword to kill me in one strike but I shifted my body and regained the distance.
Sword Arts has now been visually confirmed.
I forcefully kicked the ground and launched myself, closing the distance again. The opponent's face turned ugly as my speed colored shock on its face. I brandished my sword and attempted a diagonal slash but it was skillfully received.Because I didn't possess Sword Arts, my sword attack was clumsy. On the other hand, the opponent possessed Sword Arts, making it an inevitable result.
I, however, have the advantage of overwhelming strength..
「――Your time...is up.」
「Gyagigui...Pya」
This time around, my sword handling was better, I think.
The Small Goblin's head, cut off, was rolling on the ground. It's eyes, void of life, were staring fixedly at the sky.
It's a mystical feeling.How do I put it? It's like the way of naturally wielding a sword has seeped into my head.
I stored it in the storage and tried to find my way out of the forest.
Even if I am winning these fights, they are taking considerable toll on my body. Along with it I can sense much better. I have a good grasp of my surrounding and I can see somethings around the body of every living things.
I don't know what is it..
Thinking about these things I came across a cave and decided to rest for the night there.
However things were not as simple as it looks. This cave belongs to a bear, a big one at that. L prepared myself for the fight.
B-bad, this is definitely bad!
There's a monster bear standing not too far away in front of me.
It's about 4-5m, and is looking at me with the eyes of a predator that just trapped its prey.
A brown fur covers the entirety of it's body.
The bear's claws are definitely too sharp! One blow from those things would definitely be dangerously deadly.
Without the minuscule guidance granted by the slivers of light from the moon, I might have been eaten without myself even noticing it!
The bear was probably eating and enjoying it's food when I accidentally stumbled across it. After the short encounter, the bear must have thought that I was here to steal his prey or something… At least, that's the most logical outcome.
In the middle of my assessment, the monster spontaneously erupted from it's position and swiped down with it's razor sharp claws.
Acting by pure instincts, I was barely able to avoid and sidestep the attack.
Immediately after my near-death experience, a loud 『crash』 rang throughout the forest.
The big tree from behind where I stood before broke from its roots in an instant.
It looks like I have no choice but to stand my ground and fight here.
I take out the sword and positioned myself in a fighting stance towards the monster bear.
As the bear sees my response to fight along with my weapon, it's attention level went through a large spike, watching for any sudden weaknesses.
~Oooo, this is bad, my hands are beginning to shake and tremble!
I take a deep breath and exhale – I must calm down here. Think.
If I'm not mistaken, the weak point of the any living being is it's eye and neck.
Lets do it! I cannot afford to die here.
After setting up such goals and strengthening my resolve, the shaking calmed down and my mind entered serene state.
At that moment, the monster bear charged once again, unable to contain it's impatience.
In response, I swiftly jumped into the air at the same time.
From the view overhead, it seems that the monster bear is confused and is looking for my whereabouts.
A chance!
I stabbed the sword into the crown head of the monster bear as it is. Without any resistance, the monster stopped it's movements, before a final set of spasms indicated it's death.
The monster bear died instantly.
Haash.....finally I can rest. I just hope that I don't get attacked in the middle of sleep.
While thinking about this I slept.
When the morning came I started to find a way outside this forest and it was not long when I finally exited the forest.
[this morning light sure fels great. This morning air smell also feels good.]ME
While I was admiring beautiful morning ...….
[Areee…aree….huhhh]ME
I lost consiciousness.
[Hahaha…..you seem to be doing fine kid.]
Huh…this voice…I have heardit before.
[Who is there?]ME
