[You must capture the rare animal among common animals.]
It will be simple to identify a rare animal that I haven't seen if they are just regular animals, so that's easy.
[They can also change into various animals.] [the capacity to change into another animal]
"This system is really annoying."
'Let's take a moment to consider how I will catch the monster, but before we do that, let's scan the forest for a better angle. If I can come up with some better ways to capture with a plan, that will be better.'
The boy then starts to explore the forest, looking in every direction for a location that might help him find the monster. Along the way, he comes across some common animals, but he doesn't feel uneasy around them.
Then, he ascends a tree to survey the forest from its vantage point. 'There is nothing, so I guess I should look elsewhere.'
He immediately notices smoke coming from a great distance behind him. He then rushes toward the smoke, but when he gets there, there is no sign of it.
But… there was smoke here…
The boy runs again in the direction of the smoke as it suddenly appears in the sky from a different location in the forest.
All traces of the smoke are gone when the boy arrives at the location.
"Something feels strange, but I have no idea what's going on." Is this smoke an illusion of some sort?? Alternatively, is there a gas that vanishes when you get close to it?
Now is not the time to reflect on it; instead, I must locate that S-rank monster.
The boy starts exploring the forest. "This isn't working," said Ray, "because none of the animals I have come across have seemed in the least suspicious."
Wait! Even if the monster does transform into a typical animal, there's a chance he didn't adopt that species' way of life. A human presence in the forest is also unknown to him, which makes me highly doubt it. But I do hope I'm right.
"then, let's see if there is any animal acting differently from that of its species"
After an hour of searching, the boy gives up and turns to look elsewhere for the animal.
"I thought it would be easy, I shouldn't have treated this lightly.. ha.. let's just sit down for a while."
Ray then sits down and takes a deep breath. A deer was suddenly running around and came across Ray. Ray was taken aback when he saw the deer running up straight, but he quickly realized that the creature he was seeking was in fact the deer. a monster capable of changing into common animals but might act differently.
'I was right to suspect that the monster behaves differently even after changing into a regular animal.'
The presence of a human in the forest shocked the monster as well. He draws nearer to Ray. With the aid of a reflection body, the monster was able to easily escape Ray's attempts to use his bare hands to capture him.
'D*m it, I didn't think his movement was all that fluid. At all costs, I must get him.'
Step… step…
A tiger is approaching Ray when he notices it. 'Huh?! The tiger? Doesn't indicate to me that the monster was escaping a tiger! That monster is an S-Rank monster, right?
The tiger charges Ray, intending to kill him, but Ray avoids the animal's paws and punches it in the face, causing it to fall to the ground.
"This is driving me crazy, everything I have seen is so bizarre." Most of the time, I don't understand anything. primarily an S-rank monster escaping a tiger
[Speed Enable – your Speed will be increased by up to 4%]
Ray dashes in its direction in an effort to capture it. The monster looks back at Ray following him and tries to speed up, but his speed didn't help him and Ray was able to get closer to him after running for 5 seconds.
When Ray approaches the monster, he places his hand on its neck and throws it to the ground.
Gotta tell you, I don't sense any strong power emanating from him... Wait a second! This monster is not an S-rank, as I completely misunderstood. I convinced myself that this monster was an S-rank creature, but even if it isn't, I still can't let him live. goodbye, monster.
Wait…
???
'you can talk?!!'
Yes, I can speak. Please allow me to live; I will assist you in finding whatever you seek.
'There is no evidence that the monster I just met will assist in the same way as that useless monkey'
Wait, I'll actually assist you. I assure you that I am not the monkey you are referring to.
"Okay, I'll spare your life, but only if you dare to turn on me." I'll bring an easy end to your life.
Yes…yes…
[Your quest has been Complete]
'Huh?! Right, I captured the monster'

'that's all?'
'There is nothing special after moving up just a level, but Mr. Shadow Man claimed that the system offers limitless opportunities. In order to become the strongest, I still have a long way to go.'
[Final quest]
'that quickly surprised me. Final quest just after the first'
[Eliminate the S-Rank monster]
'Well, I'm glad it's coming to an end soon, but there are only two issues. The first is that I haven't made any plans, and the second is that monster itself.'
Ray questions the shape-shifting monster as he looks at him.
'Tell me, is there a monster in this forest that is the strongest.'
'Yes, there is a monster present in the shadowy area of the forest; it only emerged when it needed food and water or when there was a threat to its immediate environment.'
'Then where is this place located?'
follow me. I'll show you where it is. however, before that, tell me about the businesses you have with the monster.
"I'm here to kill that monster; if you have any issues, please let me know so I can resolve them," Ray said with a please expression
No..no… Would I You can do whatever you want; all I want is to live.
'than lead the way..'
The S-rank monster's home was in a dark area, and both the monster and Ray start to move there. To kill that monster.
'So, the mere human who wandered into the forest is coming here to take my life. Pathic'
'Come if you truly want to die by my hands, let's see who takes whose life.'
