Zero maintained his unwavering focus as he pressed forward with another attack. Anticipating the incoming strike, Hobo readied his sharp claws to block despite the pain from his earlier injuries. Though Hobo managed to thwart the direct blow, the force of the attack caused him to stumble, momentarily losing his footing.
Sensing an opportunity, Zero capitalized on Hobo's momentary imbalance and deftly nudged him, further destabilizing his opponent. Seizing the advantage, Zero swiftly stepped back, channeling all his strength into one mighty swing of his sword. The blade sliced through the air with unstoppable force, cleanly severing Hobo's head from his body, bringing an end to the intense and harrowing battle.
A window opened in front of his eyes.

As Zero's opponent crumpled to the ground, a profound shock coursed through his veins. "I just took a life," he whispered to himself, grappling with the gravity of his actions. Despite the turmoil within, he found a glimmer of relief in realizing that he had not ended the life of another human being, although the weight of his deed was still immense.
Contemplatively, he muttered, "I wonder when I'll have to face the harsh reality of taking a human life in this new, unforgiving world." Gathering his resolve, he rose to his feet, looking at the headless monster's lifeless form sprawled on the ground—a haunting reminder of the consequences of his skills.
With a heavy sigh, he pressed a hand to his forehead and admitted, "Now, what am I supposed to do with this lifeless body? I need to find a way to dispose of it before my father arrives." The urgency of the situation gnawed at him, and he knew he had to act responsibly to prevent any unforeseen repercussions from his actions.
As he thinks this another Window Pop up.

"All this for such a small reward. System, can you devour this monster's corpse? It would be a tremendous help." Zero received no response from the system. "I knew it," he muttered to himself, realizing that the system wouldn't be able to consume the monster.
"I can't tell Dad about this; he won't believe me. So, I have to figure this out," he thought as he grasped his sword and accessed his inventory.
"Open inventory," Zero commanded. He stowed the sword away and said, "Yes, let's dispose of this monster's body in the forest. Other monsters will devour it, right?"
Upon returning to the house, he spotted a large bag and had an idea, "Why not try putting this monster's corpse in the inventory and then head to the forest?"
With determination, he opened his inventory, attempting to push the monster's lifeless body into the inventory window. However, his attention was drawn to a glowing object in the chest area of Hobo's body. Curious, he reached in and retrieved a red, crystal-like item.
Using the Observe Skill, a window appeared with the following information.
_____Notice______
Item: Mana Crystal
Description: Contains pure mana energy.

"What is this item? It contains mana. I'm not sure what it does, but it could be helpful in the future," Zero contemplated as he carefully held the Mana Crystal. Deciding it was valuable, he placed it in his inventory for safekeeping.
Next, he picked up the monster's lifeless corpse once again and attempted to put it into the inventory. Surprisingly, as the corpse made contact with the inventory window, it seamlessly vanished inside.

Item : Red Hobo Head

"Ah, it works! That's great. Now all I have to do is head to the forest to dispose of it, as I don't have any other use for it," Zero concluded. With determination, he cleaned up the mess in front of the house before setting off on the path leading to the forest.
