Chapter 2 - Level up?

My name is Rei kirigaya age 18 height 6,7 I'm just a regular teenager, not anyone who's talented or brave I'm just someone who was born to be unfortunate yet I'm faced with a horrible life and this is how it became a lot more brutal

Day 1

'Ughhh where am I... I was near my house a while ago... why am I inside a forest?'

Confused about his situation he walked for a while, trying to remember why he was there in the first place. he wasn't able to remember how he arrived at his current location and out of nowhere he suddenly felt a headache when a voice suddenly starts to emerge within his mind that brought him down to his knees until it finally stopped

[System:#×#×#×+#+#]

"Well, that was helpful not only am I lost I have this weird headache that suddenly occurred. did I get myself into trouble? or I must've blacked out, no that's not it, I can't smell a hint of alcohol on my breath. let's venture inside the forest I might find something that'll give me a clue about what happened to me,"

Rei kept on walking until reached the center of the forest once he arrived, he heard some noises, in a certain area, it was the sounds of a person chewing. he walked closer to take a closer look at the situation, till he sees a humanoid figure that had green skin and was the size of a toddler. until he took another step and saw that they were eating a human corpse like they were having a feast. the head had an apple stuck with its jaw and the arms and legs were skewered by a metal rod that was being cooked in a campfire while its body was being eaten, the blood was placed in a wooden cup and the organs were being eaten while the green humanoid figure made a satisfied facial expression

"Graaaahgggggg" One of the three monsters had seen him spying on them and immediately run towards Rei who was still a little bewildered by what he saw he couldn't respond a little sooner with his body was frozen from fear which resulted in him getting stabbed by a knife

"Aarghhhh?!!"

Afraid and bleeding he ran away from the sight the monster kept chasing him until he ran through the forest which made it a little challenging for it to catch up it works in his favor when he threw some nearby branches slowing it down before throwing some rocks in the heat of the moment. that randomly strike its body which was surprisingly effective, he was able to slow down the monster as soon as he escaped from its clutches. he encountered a bigger and stronger monster that was holding a mallet made out of wood

"Damn it another one!!?"

The monster swung its mallet into his location, which he was able to dodge in time, seeing as the swing was pretty slow but once it came into contact with a tree behind his back it completely broke apart. once seeing this he tried to run from the opposite direction only to encounter the monster that chased him a while ago, pouncing on him with its blade before it could even stab him it got sent flying from the big monster's powerful swing

'Shit I can't win against them, at least I need to fight back...'

He pulled out his knife and charged at the big monster dodging its swing in response to Rei's attack, which was easily dodged due to its slow movements, he was able to stab the monster in its legs. before he could pull another attack the monster swung its mallet to his lower half which was faster compared to its previous swing giving Rei no time to dodge, which sends him flying, he got lucky to safely land on a pile of leaves that broke most of the force created from the swing. yet he didn't escape without being affected by its attack he could feel his body shaking

"Bluarrggggh, it hurts my body hurts,"

He vomited some blood once he recovered from the blow his feet were shaking his arms were hurting and his vision was getting blurry, he knew that being in an open area would be dangerous so he musters up the remaining strength he has left and walked away from the scene. he can't remember how long he was striding the forest until he sees a cave that was big enough for him to enter

He took his time and leaned towards the edge of the cave and close his eyes which made him finally remember his situation. a Prophecy foretold by the greatest Prophet ever to be known in the world that spoke about the end of the old world and a beginning of a new one

"Hear me, citizens of every country, soon a Great Calamity will befall us when that time comes. The weak will perish the strong will survive don't run don't hide... fight back and survive," With that, the Most well-known seer died his last words were a warning to everyone of a greater threat many enemy nations soon allied themselves against humanity's survival. And then 3 years passed everyone heard voices in their heads echoing "the wait is over" once that sentence was evoked. The world soon started crumbling and earthquakes started happening in every part of the earth before sending us to a random location, where I am now

'Ughh Fuck!!!, I'm gonna die... before I could do anything... huh what was that it came from the entrance,'

"Graaaahh,"

He was interrupted when he heard some footsteps making their way inside the cave it was the same monster that stabbed him, it was injured after being hit by the wooden mallet, its arm was dislocated, and one of its legs looked like it was about to fall off

"Graahhha!!!"

It spotted Rei he responded by throwing a rock that struck its head, he kicked its knife away before stabbing it with his own due to him losing a lot of blood he couldn't put any more strength into his arms making the monster push him towards the wall that opened up a crack in his head, his vision weakened and his consciousness was slowly fading away he stands up with only a little bit of strength left for his final struggle

He stands with the wounded monster, while he waits for the next move of his opponent, the monster wasted no time and charges at him aimlessly swinging its hand that had a razor-sharp claw that could tear off his flesh. he dodges in time to avoid its claws before kicking its feet making it kneel before him, not long after he grabs it by the head and slams its head to the edge of the cave over and over until it bleeds and its screams echoed throughout the cave yet he never stopped slamming its head whether he dies he won't go down without putting up a fight until his last slam manage to break off the monster's skull making its brain splatter in the caves wall while some of its blood covered his face

"Shit I'm all out of steam,"

With that he fell to the ground, losing too much blood he can longer feel his bleeding body. He couldn't even move even if he wanted to he finally reached his limit. A second later he felt like his body healed itself like those wounds weren't even there but his fatigue didn't go away. So he moved to another spot to lie down on the ground before a message popped out of nowhere

'what a pointless death still I fought at the end I didn't let that thing have its way with me and be its food. What a terrible way to die I'm feeling it, my heart... It's slowly beating compared to its usual pulse so this is death? It's so quiet I love it, If I'd known that death would be so peaceful I should've done it before this calamity ever happened. If I just had the guts to do it before Bluargh, my heart... It fucking hurts!!? Well, this is it my story ends here,'
