Chapter 7 - Billy's First Battle!

All the villagers were frozen in fear as the Beast walked into the village.

It was a massive beast, and was drenched in the blood of its' countless victims. It stared at the villagers with a grin on its' face, and casually hopped towards the plethora of prey before it.

It was also a giant bunny.

One man stood up to face this horrific monstrosity. It was Bob the blacksmith. "Everybody, run to safety! I will hold it off for as long as I ca-"

The bunny casually swung its' paw, and completely demolished Bob. With one swipe, all of Bob's flesh was shredded to pieces and splattered across the entire village.

The "battle" didn't even last a second.

All the villagers, now drenched in Bob's flesh and blood, could only fall to the ground; trembling whilst they awaited their fate.

At that moment, Billy began walking towards the beast. He stood tall and proud; staring down his opponent with a confident grin. With each step, a masterful strategy formulated in his mind; 'fuck this fuck this I'm dead fuck fuck fu-'

"How strong do you think this beast is, Mister Trainer?"

Mister Trainer was trembling on the ground with the rest of the villagers. "With that aura... at least level 3. You have no chance Billy..." Mister Trainer began to cry.

Billy readied his spear. "Not true! I am the Hero! I have been chosen by God! No mere beast can defe-"

The bunny casually swung its' paw, and sent Billy flying away. His body smashed through several mud huts, demolishing each of them, until he was finally stopped by a particularly tough mound of horseshit. With one swipe, Billy had been defeated.

The "battle" didn't even last a second.

Billy struggled to his feat. 'Holy horseshit! I can't fight that! My only chance of survival is to run away...' Billy stared at the villagers as they trembled in fear. If he left them behind, they would be nothing but free levels for that dangerous bunny.

A plan took shape in Billy's massive brain.

"What would a Hero do? I know they wouldn't run away like a coward! I will kill that Bunny while it is busy doing... whatever the hell it is currently doing."

The bunny was currently flexing its' bulging bunny biceps, grinning, and laughing maniacally before the trembling humans.

Billy once again marched towards the powerful bunny beast.

The villagers turned towards him, hope in their eyes.

Billy shed a single tear. "Don't worry. I will defeat the bunny! Basic Swing!"

Billy swung his spear into the nearest villager, and began a massacre of the town.

With each swing of his spear, a tear fell down his face. 'I am so sorry, but this must be done! I have to level up enough to defeat the bunny! It is my duty as a Hero! I mean, you were all gonna die anyways, so this is the right thing to do! And getting strong is a good thing! I will be able to save so many more villagers in your place... Yes, a Hero must make sacrifices for the sake of humanities' survival!'

After eradicating the last villager, Billy felt a sudden surge of strength.

Billy grinned. "Ha! I am level 3 now, you bunny bastard! Prepare to die!"

Billy dashed towards the bunny at an inhuman speed; reaching it in an instant. An immense energy gathered in his spear. "Basic Thru-"

The bunny casually swung its' paw, and sent Billy flying away. His body smashed through the few last remaining mud huts, demolishing each of them, until he was finally stopped by an even tougher mound of horseshit. With one swipe, Billy had been defeated.

The "battle" didn't even last a second.

Billy lay in a mound of horseshit, and began to laugh. "Well shit. If I'm gonna die, better get some things off my chest..."

Billy crawled over to Mister Trainer, and wiped the smeared blood from his cute face. "Mister Trainer, I must admit something before we all die horribly at the hands of that fuckin' bunny. Damn bro, you hot!"

Mister Trainer looked back into Billy's eyes, and began to tear up. 'What is this feeling? It's as if my bottled up emotions are bubbling to the surface or something!'

Suddenly, Mister Trainer's bottled up emotions bubbled to the surface! Throughout the past week, Mister Trainer had subconsciously suppressed his immense sexual and romantic attraction towards Billy due to ingrained societal values impressed upon him throughout his entire life. In an instant, with but a few simple words, those deeply entrenched beliefs instilled in him over decades were erased.

The past week of shirtless training, sharing a bed with Billy, and running through beautiful fields of flesh eating flowers was suddenly revealed to be extremely romantic.

Mister Trainer began to tear up. 'My God! I was feeling horny while admiring Billy's beautiful, muscular form! So that's the true reason I became a Level Trainer...'

Mister Trainer wrapped their arms around Billy. "Billy, I feel the same! I couldn't see it before, due to the homophobic values instilled in me since childhood, but I am immensely attracted to you, and super gay!"

Billy grinned. "Will then, we should be quick."

And so, in the middle of a field of dismembered corpses and broken homes, Billy and Mister Trainer began to make out passionately.

But then...

Billy felt a sudden surge of holy power. "Wha- what is this strength!?"

Billy grinned, and began to cackle. "I am so powerful now! I bet I could split a mountain in half with only my fists!"

Billy once more readied his spear, and smiled as he stared down the bunny. "Prepare to suffer at the hands of a Deus Ex Machina, you god damn bunny bitch! Basic Swing!"

With one swing of his spear, an immense energy instantly severed the bunny in half. The emitted beam of energy from the slash also destroyed huge chunks of the earth whithin a five kilometer radius.

Billy crumpled to the ground as the holy energy escaped his grasp. He meekly searched for an appraisal scroll among the tattered remains of his clothing.

Suddenly, Billy sensed the presence of two powerful creatures. He turned around to witness two men in plated armor strolling towards the village.

Billy forced himself to stand as he waited for the soldiers to arrive.

The two men took their time, having a jolly laugh at the carnage they passed.

The shorter one pointed. "Oh boy Jimmy, look at that corpse! It's doin' such a funny pose!"

The tall one giggled. "Doesn't that look like the one we saw on the Demon Frontier? Do peasants just like dying in that pose for some reason? It's hilarious!"

The two soldiers waved as they saw Billy. "Howdy! I see you took care of the monster we were coming to hunt. Any survivors?"

Billy shook his head. "Only me and Mister Trainer."

"Alright, thank goodness! You see, we have a few questions we need to ask you..."

The soldiers reached for their weapons.

"It seems our sensors are detecting the recent presence of homosexual activity. Would you care to explain?"
