Outside the west city gate, around 7 am in the morning, a middle-aged man walks out carrying a backpack. He was Zoran he was kicked but also thankful that all the thing that was kept in the underground. All the happy memories that are in there are meant to be cherished while the bad one is meant to be forgotten.
Zoran was holding a bronze card. It was an ATM card that can contain money worth of 1 million Dragnia currency. There are cards with different colors representing there worth.
A bronze card can contain a million while a silver card was for middle-class families where their assets exceed the maximum capacity of what the bronze card can have. the gold card was for the VIP means... for nobles. Aside from holding hundreds of millions of dollars, if you buy something, there would be a discount of 10 percent every time you buy. Dark gold cards and platinum was way out of Zoran's league.
Zoran was lucky to sell the carcass he had. Although it pays low, Zoran was still happy. after he got the money he immediately buys the one he needed. Human needs proper care for the body and food, drinks and clothes are the need right now.
Zoran was now headed towards the freewich forest where monsters are roaming around. It was said that during the past era this mountain was one of the first mountains that happen to be swarmed by the monsters when the portal at the peak shows up. In that era, the portal was not what it's like today it was more like a big black hole devouring everything.
Zoran was heading out to the outskirts of the freewich forest where level 1-5 apprentice warrior beast roams around.
As Zoran enters the outer section of the forest, Zoran could see many beautiful views that were never in his life saw something like this. It was paradise! The sun is high above him as he walked into the forest, which he heard calling. He could see many beautiful butterflies flying, birds singing, this makes me wonder about birds and where their songs come from. 'How ancient the song I am hearing really is', trees dancing as Zoran take a step into the forest, he noticed at first the trees, stretching high above the ground, as if in competition with one another, to see who will reach the sky first.
The place makes you feel refreshed. Zoran Continue to walk the outer section of the forest and searched for a nearby mountain range to find a quiet place beside the cliff which was near and not too far away from the canyon.
"The environment here is excellent and it can be used as a temporary place of residence" Zoran looked around at the remote and quiet scenery, his eyes exclude a look of satisfaction.
Zoran goes back and forth in the forest to find some dry vegetation and fixed up a temporary home in the cave.
After doing all of this, Zoran clapped his hands and looked at the cave called 'home' with a happy expression.
"Although it's a little simple and crude, at least it looks like a place for living. I didn't expect to do a real version of wilderness survival"
"Now let's find a monster to level up"
He began walking towards the western part of the forest. On his way, Zoran made sure to remember the vicinity of the area trying map so that he would not get lost. His clothes would constantly get stuck on various weird looking grass and plants, and he began to develop itchiness from his arms and legs. It took him a full hour to find what he was looking for. Turning towards the noise, Zoran halted.
Turning towards the source of the noise,
Vahn halted. Standing around 10m away,
there stood a small but buff body of a boar with a flaming like a torch in his hairy neck. The boar's tusk was long about half the meter long. The upper half of his
body seemed to be covered in scale, while the bottom was entirely covered
with dense fur. Its height was slightly under 1 meter, and its physique was similar to that of muscular and dense muscle as if it was in a berserk mode. Zoran could see within its vicious red eyes a ferocity that shook him to the core it was at least peak 2 apprentice warrior.
The monster, which Zoran recognized as a
Boar or something like a mutant boar looked directly into his eyes. It
seemed to understand the terror he
inspired as it slowly began to walk towards Zoran, waving his tail that seemed to be made of metal spikes. 10 meters... 9 meters... 8 meters... As the Boar continued its approach Zoran stood absolutely still, unable to muster any thought of fighting or fleeing. Though he had spent time in the army life, he had never been in a combat situation except for the one he fought inside the city. Though the eyes used to look at him were similar to the monster he kills before, it was similarly as vicious as Zoran knew, this boar seems to be very hungry that it really wanted to kill him.
7 meters... 6 meters. Just as it began to
reach the halfway point, Zoran immediately snapped out due to the
sudden beeb... Beeb from the system. Just as he was about to move, the boar
seemed to have sensed his change and
immediately lunged at him, aiming the
Long tusk directly at his stomach.
Zoran twisted his body as quickly as he could, raising his arms forming an X right at gis chest in case it fails to protect his body.
The boar continued it's lunge, impaling the long tusk directly in Zoran's left ribs before pulling it away, tearing away at his flesh due to the serrated qualities of the blade. Because of the sudden impact, Zoran was knocked off balance as a sharp pain coming from his chest sent alarms ringing in his head.
Zoran rolled back, trying to regain his balance. He breathed heavily as he looks at the boar. He never moves like this before although his strength has improved with his old age, it can only hinder him. The oxygen in his body already in exhaustion so he staggered back as he breathes deeply.
The boar crouched his head down, this time aiming towards Zoran's torso before jumping out at with murderous momentum.
Catching the boar's movements in his eye, Zoran's mind felt a cooling sensation spread, seeming to dull the effects of the pain emitted from his left chest. He mentally tried to ready himself from the attack head-on, causing the sharp tusk to appear in his right and left hand.
Bang!
While Zoran holds the two tusks, his foot lodge to the ground while holding on. Even though he uses all his strength his foot that was on the ground start to move as the boar keeps dashing forward. Zoran's Veins popping out all over his body as he tried to stop the boar from moving forward.
Zoran shouted with all his might, "Up!! Ahhhh!!"
Using the clarity brought about by the cooling sensation, Zoran shifted his weight and tried to use the boar's momentum to absorb the force that was putting on him.
The boar was finally lifted up in the air as it wiggles crazily.
"I-it's my turn now! Haaa!!"
Zoran smashes the boar down violently and then lifted up again and smash lifted and smash all over again.
Bang! Bang!
Bang! Bang!
Bang! Bang!
Bang! Bang!
Bang! Bang!
Bang! Bang!
With now strength left Zoran stops as he looks at the boar in front of him. The boar was now smashed like a paste. It could no longer be called a boar now with all the smashes that were going on.
Until the system ring a bell (notification)
[Name: Zoran Zavorich
Tier/Rank: 2 apprentice warrior
Potential: Unkown

Seeing the points being added Zoran couldn't help but smile.
"Alright!! Let's grind more!"

I would like to clarify that at the beginning of the chapter Zoran knows a little about the world while he listens to the reports of the reporters on the big projection screen.
I hope you guys enjoy it! If there are grammar mistakes in the story please do tell me in the comment section and I hope that everyone who read the story would leave a suggestion (optional) about monsters. To be honest English is not my main language it was my third. And it was hard for me to describe monsters feature and a character so I hope you guys are kind enough to suggest.
