BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!
A constant fair rhythm of booming sound occurred throughout the forest. The source was lying beneath the biggest and tallest crown of trees. A young man with bulging muscles on his shoulder, a claw mark that covered his upper torso, and long black hair dancing elegantly from the impact that he caused.
The Trunk which was almost a meter in width didn't move from the force of a young man even though he possibly aim to move the trees by punching them aggressively. The Roots which connected to the trunk, slithered throughout the earth's crust, which was the reason why the young man couldn't move the trees despite the powerful force he released.
Different types of birds were using the Crown of the trees as their nest. Although they were exasperated by the shaking caused by the young man, they could only shiver from fear if they had thought of teaching him a lesson. Who were they kidding? It was a man that have killed a king of the beast before!
Through their aerial dominion, they witnessed the battle of the beast versus beast, it was not just a beast like them, but it was the king of the beast!
At first, the battle victor would be the hands of the yellow-striped tiger, but they have never thought that the man won by its cunningness, but they never acknowledge it. They even had thought to teach the young man a lesson before, and yet that young man suddenly changed to the current young man now.
Not only did his height increase, but his power also increased. He even accidentally punched a monkey casually. Even though the monkey hasn't yet reached Rank 1, it was the peak – almost reached Rank 1. But to casually unintentionally punch it to death, was by no means a joke!
This led to the current situation now. He selected this tree out of the never-ending trees in the jungle because it was near the river and it was the only one that could resist his punch.
The first tree he picked, fell right after he punched it with full force. And this tree was the only one who could withstand his punch. It's been three hours since he had done this, Sun was about to decorate in the middle of the sky, and it was supposed to eat lunch, and yet the man doesn't have the intention to stop until he leave a hole at the middle of the trunk of the tree.
They were so displeased by the young man's doing, but they couldn't do anything. Their babies were already awake and were crying out loud due to the young man before them from the commotion he caused. But as if unperturbed, the young man continued punching the trunk, and they even thought that this young man would only stop if they offer themselves to be his meal.
"Argh! This Tree is so thick and firm. I have been punching the same position for three hours, yet I only leave an inch deep mark," Clover grumbles as he sighed, and continued.
"This can be a good thing though since I need to control my powers. To think that my punch could punch a monkey comparable to the mutated lion to death?" (AN: I did imply that the mutated lion hasn't reached rank 1 but almost, right?)
"But that Monkey was good at surprising though. I never noticed his presence until he served his body before me, out of reflex I punched him unintentionally, but for his body to explode was something I didn't expect." Clover then gave a light snickered whenever he think that the silly monkey turned into nothing but a lump of minced meat.
"I couldn't even have thought about eating him even though I have been hungry for three days. He was so disgusting that I almost threw up when my gaze landed on his body." Clover shakes his head, as his thoughts appeared on the Monkey's carcass.
His head looked above the tree before him, and it was the direction of the crown of trees, watching those cute little birds shivering when they noticed his gaze landed on them. To them, they could see his eyes turning green as if he desired to eat them directly.
"Hmm… Birdie barbecue will suffice, but without seasonings or spices, it will be bland and tasteless, it will just be a waste to grill them." He then noticed a round-shaped white sitting behind the shivering pair of birds as if they were shielding it.
"Well, even though I have killed thousands of beasts and even a king of the beast was one of them. I still have my rationality, and I'm compassionate for even to a harmless beast." He decided not to play jokes around with them. Although they never understood what he was murmuring, they knew that the God of Death decided to let them be, and let them live to the fullest for a while.
He then turned his back to the tree and decided to warm up a little bit before going back to his quarters.
He was jumping at a certain kind of tempo, like a boxing expert jumping when he was in the ring. He then made a punch: right jab, right hook, left jab, and left hook. He then made different types of kicks before deciding to stop, five minutes after.

"It's been three days since I've been controlling my killing intent. Now, I look like nothing but a harmless sheep, ready to be slaughtered by any beast whose stomach is craving for the meat." Anyone would agree with his statements, but his bulking body, coupled with a claw mark that covered his upper torso and a long jet-black hair identical to the hair of the lion, appeared contrarily.
"It had already been a distance since I have been walking towards the direction where the quake happened, and not even a single human nor a possible trace of a human gathering could be seen on this large jungle." Clover was contemplated, as he was sitting on a branch of the trees, like a mini version of the large trees where he was punching before.
"But with my improved eyesight, I could see a withered group of trees, as if their life force was sucked by something." His head then moved slightly, and his gaze landed in the direction of the trees, where their body wilted for some unknown reason.
"Maybe that's the reason why humans never dared to venture into this area, and the reason why I have never met them aside Morgan." As he was lost in his thought, a booming sound occurred in his mind.
[Congratulations to the host for receiving your first mission!]
[Mission now can be seen in your features, please open the God's Record for further details regarding the mission.]
Clover was elated when he heard what God's Record said. He feels that a cold emotionless voice could sound pleasant sometimes and gentle in its own ways. As he was smiling like a person who was accepted by their crush, he murmured hysterically, "God's Record open!"
