From the MC's Perspective:
After erasing any traces of the battle, I stood still for a moment, taking a final glance around. Satisfied that no evidence remained, I turned and began my journey back to Alpha City. The path ahead was long, but I preferred solitude—especially after such a confrontation.
A few minutes passed when I felt the faint tremor beneath my feet. My instincts flared. As I slowed my pace, I spotted something small emerging from the shadows.
At first glance, it appeared to be a Class-6 monster, but as I focused on its aura and the energy radiating from it, I realized this monster was more formidable—a Class-7 monster, one that lives underground.
I activated my perceptual ability, sharpening my senses as I took in every detail of the monster. Its pointed nose gleamed in the dim light, and its hairless back reflected a dull sheen. It moved on four short, clawed legs, its body covered in thick, dark armor-like scales.
