it was already afternoon as Greg is taking a stroll in an alley that only have a single path as he is straying further away from the city.
"I've been a shut in for too long that I don't even know what country I belong." said Greg as he is slowly walking while heightening the sense of his ears with focus.
*shake* *shake*
a shaking was heard on the boxes near the garbage bin on Greg's left.
Greg immediately touched his
a green cat pops out.
"Well aren't you cute." Greg walks up to the cat.
As soon as Greg's distance to the cat closed to 3 feet, the cat grew a third eye on its forehead and wings coming out to its back.
Greg was startled, he thought it was just a stray cat. he could not recollect his thoughts on time and stumbled himself backwards.
The three-eyed cat plunged itself to Greg with precision.
Greg tried to block its plunging attack with his forearms crossed but the flexibility and speed of the three-eyed cat was enough to give Greg a nice hit on the neck.
Greg was knocked away as he is having difficulty to breathe.
"I-i let my guard down.." said Greg as he's holding his neck.
Greg tried to get his
Greg cannot do anything but to dodge.
Greg dodged, is what he thought but the monster grazed his left cheek for a bit.
Greg decided to run as fast as he can as he is equipping his
he's doing his best to take out the
Greg stopped running immediately as the monster was slowing its momentum.
Greg reached out his hand to the monster then said to himself.
"Fireball"
a flaming ball then came out of Greg's hand then flew towards the monster.
the three-eyed cat was startled when it saw a fireball coming towards it.
the monster decided to fly backwards as flipping its body to the opposite direction will make the fireball catch up.
While the monster was distracted with the fireball, Greg took out his
then rushed to it as fast as he can.
as the fire ball faded away in front of the monster's eyes, it let its guard down by a split second.
Greg attempted to kill the monster with a downward swing. the target did its best to dodge but it took out its left wing instead of its life.
the monster meows in sadness as if its trying to soften Greg.
"It won't work on me." Greg then gave a finishing blow with a stab to the head.
a tab popped out immediately.
Pick a reward.
Applying on a weapon gives it mana, the mana can be used to strengthen the said weapon's attack without using the user's mana. the number of mana-powered attacks depends on the amount of mana is given upon the weapon.
"It does not prove useful to me yet since I can't see the amount of mana I posses and I don't know the mana required each attack"
a skill that makes the user run faster by 10% for 3 seconds.
Cooldown is 30 seconds.
"Thrust H>
a skill that makes the user thrust for 120% of the user's STR stat.
Cooldown is 10 seconds.
"The cooldown is great but I am not a fan of thrusting yet..and I also don't know how much skills can a human hold, so its dangerous to pick combat skills carelessly."
"That's all?!" Greg said to himself angrily.
another tab appears.
"Yes.. skip."
"I guess its better than zero.." Greg facepalmed himself as he was very disappointed with the rewards, he had high expectations for it.
a
Greg's eyes were lighted up with excitement once again.
Pick a reward
a passive skill that slightly increases the user's reflexes, hearing and sight.
"A great skill! but let's decide that later"
PIERCE: 5-7
Special Ability:

"Bows are not my cup of tea but the damage for sure is great for tanky monsters."
Consume the soul of the prey you've killed with your own hands to gain.
"how come this is the first time I've ever seen a monster soul.?" Greg questioned himself.
a tab appears.
"Its your fault for giving me this overpowered ability.." said Greg.
Greg after 3 minutes of thinking. He decides to pick the
"I feel different, I can hear the winds a bit more clearier, I can see the alley a bit a further too, it'll be great if I can rank up this skill"
Greg then takes out his snacks and water from his bag and eats them as he walks.
*step*
Greg stops walking.
"Must be my imagination."
He continues to walk again.
*step* *step* *step*
Greg then stops again.
he looks around him but he doesn't see anything.
Before Greg gets to continue his walk, a grab was felt on his leg.
"?!" Greg immediately jumped back.
"Owwie..." said from an unknown voice.
"Who goes there?!" said Greg as he puts his hand on his pocket to ready his weapons.
Greg took a nice look on where the voice came from.
"You scared me Mister..."
it seems to be a little girl who is dirtied on what it seems to be a dust..?
Greg then raised one eye brow.
"Why is there a little girl around here?."
Greg slowly and slowly walked towards the girl as his hands are still in his pockets.
"I got lost because I was chasing a cute green cat!" the little girl said smiling.
"It must be that cat from earlier.." Greg whispered to himself.
"how come you're smiling in this current state of the world right now.." Greg said to his mind.
"But that means her parents are still alive and well." Greg added on that statement.
"I don't know where my mama and papa is, but I know for shure that issa wide place with tents and fire!" said the little girl with her hands up in the air.
"Okay, let's get you to your parents then?" Greg pats her head gently.
"Yessir!" The little girl then held Greg's hand.
"the fact that she's having positive feelings right now that means she was in a nice environment, I guess it won't be so bad to help her find her parents before going somewhere to take shelter." Greg held back tightly as they are walking.
*stomach growl*
"I'm hungwy.." the little girl rubbed her stomach.
"Here you go." Greg took out a plastic wrapped sandwich from his back and unwrapped then gave it to the girl.
"So what's your name?" Greg asked as they're walking.
"Mynm ngame ish Wucy!" the girl said as she is munching on the sandwich.
"Lucy, huh? I'm Greg. Nice to meet you." said Greg as he's drinking water.
"Nhice tv mhevt yhu tuu!" the little girl choked as she said that.
"Oh dear, here you go." Greg wiped the bottle then gave it to her.
Lucy took the water bottle immediately then chugged it down.
"Bffah!"
"Thank you!" said the girl as she was breathing fast.
"Don't let go okay?" said Greg.
"Mhm!" a reply from Lucy.
"Its gonna be evening soon, and she mentioned about tents and fires. I hope we can find her parents before anything bad happens." Greg then threw the plastic wrap to the garbage bin near him.
"Here chu go!" Lucy followed Greg by throwing the water bottle in the bin.
Greg pats her head then they continued to walk.
