The next day I therefore left the apartment around 6am to be at 8am at the walls of the huge city. From there, soldiers arrested me, took me to a tent where I had to sign the contract for the resources on my return and afterwards I was able to calmly equip myself with a reinforced full suit (top , pants, boots and helmet) as well as a bronze* grade dagger before being released outside the walls.
The military have nothing to do with your survival, once they have done the minimum to try to guarantee your safety, they respect your choice to go out in danger even if you do not have the capabilities.
Here I am outside, I will have to walk for at least 5 hours before falling on the first beasts.
After 5 hours of strenuous walking, I finally see a forest. On the map the military gave me, it's called "Forest of the Weak". Not a grand name but at least I know I've arrived at my destination. At the edge of the forest, I climb the first tree that comes along. Everyone knows that staying down is giving yourself up on a silver platter to any predator. I've been moving from tree to tree for 30 minutes already and I feel my stamina running out. Sweat drips down my forehead and I decide to take a break in the foliage on a branch.
After 1 hour I feel fresh again. As I was about to jump on the branch in front of me, noises of struggle startled me and I was on the verge of falling 5 meters lower.
"Bulsh*it warn before you fight"
I approach slowly in the trees and after having traveled 10 meters, I find myself in the tree above a battle between a kind of fiery red fox and a big hairy pig. Under my amazed eyes I see the fox who seemed weak swinging balls of fire 50 centimeters in diameter. And to my surprise the big hairy pig is actually a big nimble hairy pig that manages to dodge fireballs.

"F*ck useless system, I could have said it myself"
Seeing that I couldn't rely on the system, I decided to wait. Suddenly I remembered a hunting novel which said that often the sound of struggle and the smell of blood very often attracted other predators.
Seeing the battle below me which had been at an impasse for 5 minutes, I decided to intervene.
"I'd have to land next to them for both of them to be within [War God Ares's Pressure] activation range. After they are frozen it would be child's play to finish them off. I descend a little so as not to break my legs on landing. Luckily they were focused in their battle and didn't notice me.
As a new defensive attack was underway, I popped up from the foliage and landed smoothly 2 meters away from them. They almost died of a heart attack...
[You have activated Pressure of the god of war Ares]
Their bodies froze, I could feel the fear in their wide eyes as I approached them. I hurriedly took the dagger out of my backpack to get it over with.
[10.9, .8, 7... seconds left]
I quickly slit the nimble hairy pig's throat as it crumbles in its blood that was beginning to pool.
[Ding... You killed a Nimble Pig]
[You gained 25 EXP]
I run to the fire fox and rush in attack.
[The War God Ares Pressure skill has ended]
[Recharging time: 3 hours]
Feeling liberated, the fiery fox managed to escape my beginner's attack without difficulty. Landing on his paws he watches me vigilantly. Fear begins to take hold of me and I feel paralyzed. He charges a fireball that comes at me quickly.
Fortunately compared to the rank E wyvern this fox is nothing. With snake dodging, I manage not to take the ball in the head. My body at a 90° angle Straightens up and I rush at the fiery fox before its cooldown ends. My great agility allowed me to bridge 60 meters in just 4 seconds. I fake a fist attack to the left and throw my knife to the right. By sheer luck, the fiery fox dodges to the right and catches the knife right in the eye, killing him instantly. The knife hit the brain.
