An arrow whooshed by and slammed into the skull of a wolf that was innocently lying on the ground asleep.
The poor wolf didn't even have a chance to counter attack as it died immediately.
Alex smirked as he rushed over to retrieve his bloodied arrow, the arrow was covered in blood and any normal person would retch at the sight of this crimson wooden stick.

"Whew! This is tough work!"
His gaze moved over to his Status window as he saw the amazing number of points he had collected in just under two hours.

"350 points? Should i save up for a better cultivation technique or buy a single common lottery?"
Alex seriously thought…
"Fine! No point wasting time to decide! I'll draw a common lottery now."
'System! Draw one common lottery!'
[Ding!]
[ You have received the common skill set
'Oh? a fist technique?'
As Alex willed, a detailed explanation appeared infront of him.
[ Force Fist Level 1
Increases damage dealt by fists.
Points to upgrade : 100 ]
'Huh? That's it? Just a mere increase in damage dealt by my bare fist?'
Alex didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
The skill was certainly useful, just not to him now. Since he was using a bow and arrow, a skill that benefited archery was much more desirable. But he had to make use of what he had.
'Should I upgrade the skill or get another lottery?'
'System! What do you think i should do?'
Ding!
[Host! I recommend upgrading the skill! ]
"Eh?"
Fine! Whatever! It's only a hundred points anyway…
"System! Upgrade Force Fist!"
Ding!

Alex felt the power brimming in his arms, an influx of memories flowed into his brain and he realized that he was more skilled with his fists than before.
He sent a few shadow jabs and he could feel the power in his hands. He then went off to eat the wolf he had hunted.
Every time he killed something, he would take a break and roast it for consumption. It was wasteful to leave the carcass to rot. Better eat it and increase his strength.
A few minutes later, the meat was cooked and Alex feasted on the tender flesh of the wolf.
Ding!
[ + 1 Defense! ]
He felt the familiar energy flow through his body once again. It flowed to every crevice of the body before dissipating into nothingness.
His defense had improved again.
With a jolly heart, Alex was about to leave when a massive tremor in the earth shook the entire area.
Alex was jolted up and quickly dashed to an area where the tremors were weaker. The following sight was terrifying.
'What is that…?'
A humongous bear, scarlet fur and razor sharp claws tore through the undergrowth. It's eyes gleamed with a killing intent, it's mouth held pearly white serrated teeth that clamped onto a carcass of a crocodile.
The bear moved at incredible speeds and soon left the area.
Alex was bewildered at the sight, he didn't even dare to move. Only after a few seconds did he react.
'What was that? Is that the Tyrant Bear in my quests…? I have to kill that thing!?'
Alex kept shaking his head. In his mind, it was impossible to bring down such a creature. The true ruler of the jungle. Alex hadn't seen anything stronger than it.
He knew it was better to get to working instead of saying it's impossible. But first… Just to be safe he waited for a few more minutes before making his way out of the bushes.
[ Kill 10/100 wolves. ]
[ Kill 15/100 boars. ]
I'll complete these quests as soon as i can!
He rushed off into the deeper parts of the jungle.
He soon met many animals, boars, wolves, snakes and more.
Alex saw a boar peacefully walking whilst chewing on some grass it was enjoyi-
Boom!
It's skull was crushed by a blurry white fist.
Ding!
[ + 10 points! ]
Alex had just recovered from the shock of the night behind his fists…
He looked at the other animals shivering in fear and he smirked
"Hehehehe my points…"
He dashed forward and started to pummel everything in sight.
Ding! Ding! Ding!
System prompts kept ringing in his ear but he was too focused on the slaughter to think of anything.
[ + 10 points! ]
[ + 10 points! ]
[ + 20 points! ]
A while later…
The blood or creatures were lain all over the forest floor. A sight to behold, tens of wolves and boars could be seen lying on the ground motionless.
The scent of blood filled the air and this attracted even more animals.
A large crocodile, larger than its peers sauntered over to the hellish field. It was 2 meters tall and over 10 meters long. A beast that would've even survived in the prehistoric era.
The beast walked with every step shaking the ground. It had sharp claws that dug into the hardened dirt with every movement.
It's sheer weight brough an intense atmosphere around.
The crocodile king saw carcasses littered all around and it grew excited.
It blitzed over but after reaching a certain distance, a shadow loomed over it and sent a fist hurling towards the top of the crocodile's crown.
Boom!
The crocodile slammed into the dirt but it recovered quickly and slashed out with it's sharp talons. With a whoosh, Alex dodged and created some distance.
The growl of the crocodile was heard. Indicating it wasn't very happy. Alex frowned, the scales of the crocodile were much tougher than he had expected.
He even had a scratch on his knuckle bone. Alex with a sudden movement, bolted towards the crocodile king and swept his fists out. The crocodile then opened its jaws and with a menacing roar it leaped forward and tried to bite Alex in a single jaw attack.
Alex, seeing this, used all the strength in his legs pushed back and he successfully managed to evade the maws of death.
A few beads of sweat formed on his forehead, this was mostlikely the hardest fight he had fought in. The power, speed and defense of the crocodile exceeded his expectations.
Alex knew he had to be careful, lest he wanted to be lunch for this guy.
Alex realized his evasion skills were limited, infact, he didn't have any evasion skills in the first place. He only knew how to use his raw power to run or dodge.
His only useful skill set is the fist technique he had gotten in the lottery. He grabbed a fistful of air and stepped forward again!
His right fist hurtling towards the crocodile's eye. The beast shook his head and slammed it to Alex's side.
Wham!
Alex was sent barreling to the side, he rolled for abit before knocking into a tree. Alex gagged at the force of the swing.
He realized he was inferior in every way compared to the crocodile. A strong force heading towards Alex made him unable to think for long as he dodged to the side.
The crocodile bashed into the large tree Alex knocked into and the tree fell from a single charge!
'Just how strong is this guy?'
With no other choice, Alex grabbed an arrow and nocked it onto his bow. He pulled the string and aimed at the crocodile.
The beast didn't like this hostile action and roared before he charged towards Alex. Alex stepped backwards and released the arrow!
With the sound of the arrow whistling by, it embedded itself deeply into the eye of the crocodile…
ROAR!!
The beast had basically no protection for its eyes as most reptiles didn't have eyelids, only a soft translucent layer to keep their eyes moist.
With half its vision destroyed, the crocodile was in anguish. It sent a deafening roar into the skies, that shook the ground and the trees all around it.
Alex took this opportunity and sent another arrow out, with the intention of piercing the other eye. But the beast had moved and the arrow pierced shallowly into the crown of the crocodile.
Nuff said. Alex gathered some strength into his legs and he burst forward with the intention to kill!
A fist that seemed to whistle by slammed into the injured eye.
ROARR!!!!
Another anguished roar boomed from the beast, it was shaking and tumbling on the ground to try and get Alex off it.
Alex was holding on for dear life right now and he gripped even harder.
'Shit!'
Alex paled as he felt he was losing strength in his hands. His exhaustion had gotten to him. Alex was flung high up into the air as he let go.
Now in the air, Alex saw that the surrounding trees had fallen and the area was destroyed. He saw the beast thrashing in agony.
He was now suspended in a free fall.
He had an idea…
'What if i use the force from this free fall to deliver a fatal blow to the crown of that crocodile?'
His eyes lit up with a flame bursting forth as he steadied himself into a punching stance.
Time traveled in slow motion as he almost reached the target.
Alex twisted his body and slammed his fist into the crown of the crocodile!
BOOM!!
The head of the crocodile bashed into the dirt, it's brain turning to mush from the collision…
Ding!
[ You have obtained…
Alex didn't manage to see the notification as he fainted on the spot…
