Ignis opened his interface.
[As the first person to make the breakthrough, you will receive VIP level 1 status in the trade area. ]
[This allows the user to buy things in the VIP section of the trade area. ]
Ignis was a little surprised at how many benefits the first player to break through gets.
"Well, to make the breakthrough, you have to switch your earthly mind shit to the current situation, and whoever does it faster earns a reward."
As he thought about it, he remembered that in his previous life, he could only reach VIP Level 2.
"The player who was the first to level up at that time was Leon, and if I remember correctly, he had a gold-ranked sword with him on the first floor. Well, that's probably the cause of this VIP shit."
Leon, the crusader, is the guy who becomes one of the most successful players, and he was involved in many great events.
And most importantly, he will pretend to be my saviour on the first floor and make me join his group to fight 'that' monster.
"I'm going to fight the monster at eye level and unaided this time, but that guy will definitely come up to that monster."
Ignis starts grinning and formulating a plan for his 'saviour'. "Haha! But I still don't know his talent."
"What a pain in the peaches!"
After considering some possibilities of what may happen, he closed the interface for the VIP trading area, thinking, 'I don't have enough system points; there's no point in looking through this right now.'
and opened the attribute panel. Since he has +50 extra attribute points, he was debating where to use them.
'I should think about the long-term effect, which means that balancing things will probably have a slightly better effect.'
Oh, yeah! I almost forgot about the extra 3 attribute points for levelling up.
Then he distributed the attribute points.

Looking at his attributes panel, Ignis was gloating.
'hah! Shouldn't I start hunting level 5 monsters?'
As he considered everything, he started doing things.
First, he discussed weapons with Ethyn. Even now, she hadn't decided on a weapon. He immediately instructed her to grab a bow and arrow, which he was aware Ethyn had used in the past.
As she chose the bow, an ordinary ranked bow was in her hand.
He then told her that they'd be hunting monsters in a circle around their shelter.
"If you kill a monster of level difference 4 or higher, you might gain a skill of rank E or D."
" If, on the other hand, you kill a monster without such a great difference in level, you gain only a skill of rank F."
" Keep in mind to at least once strike the monster we're hunting with your arrows, but avoid delivering a fatal blow or you'll receive your first skill, as we only want you to have a rank E or D skill." Ignis explained everything in a serious tone for the information geek, who was even more obsessed with information than himself.
In order to move forward with his plan, Ignis needed to check his fighting ability and help Ethyn level up and acquire new skills.
They had formed the party as Ignis could send her request, even if she hadn't yet broken through.
As he did that, he remembered his title, which would be very helpful in gaining more experience points not only for himself but for Ethyn as well, and that soon he will be able to add the mark of divinity to the title after this hunt.
_______________

_______________
As soon as they stepped out of the shelter, they were again greeted by the smell of blood from the surroundings and the reddish darkness. Even though the sun hadn't quite set, the shadows of the trees that hid them added to the eerie atmosphere of the forest.
Ethyn's heart raced as they made their way through the eerie atmosphere. Ignis kept a watchful eye on her.
And soon, about 50 metres from their shelter, they came across a group of level 2 monsters. There were 12 of them in total, which meant there had to be a pack leader among them. They were also part of the Misavu Heyna clan, but different from the aardwolves.
They were small in stature and covered in rough, brown fur.
These small creatures were known for their nimbleness and agility.
Despite their tiny stature, they were an important part of the Misavu Heyna clan's ecosystem. Although not as fearsome as their aardwolf cousins, these creatures had their own unique adaptations that made them valuable to the clan. Their rough fur helped them blend in with their surroundings, allowing them to move silently and unnoticed through the bush.
_______________
[ Name: Crocuta ]
[Level: 2]
[ HP: 400 ]
[ Description: These are the most widespread and fastest group of the Misavu hyena clan.]
_______________
He told Ethyn the description; he could see her face turning pale and her hands trembling. The moment he saw this, he began to laugh.
"Why do you look so scared?"
When Ethyn realized how scared she was and how her hands were shaking, her cheeks turned red with embarrassment, and she buried her face in her trembling hands and spoke softly in an embarrassed tone, "N-Not everyone is like you."
"Don't worry, I'll take care of this group, you just have to try and hit as many of them as you can with your arrow and improve your marksmanship."
They proceeded with what they had planned, and soon Ignis started to run towards the group of Crocuta with his Kusarigama.

_______________
As he got closer, he began to grin; it was a very Ignis-like grin, and as he ran extremely quickly for his level, his lunatic grin grew even wider.
"Yes, yes, yes..."
Without even thinking much, he reached close to the group, holding the chains, and swung the kusarigama with the sickle side on the offensive.
-74
-85
-82
He kept rotating while moving forward, and after every third consecutive attack, used vertical arc attack.
-264
-224
"hahahahahahahahaha..."
"Die, you too die, die."
"hahaha..."
He roared like a madman and enjoyed the killing. He continued to spin like a tornado and move forward, destroying monsters, grass, and tree trunks—not a single one spared from his mad spin with taut chains.
The leader of this Crocuta pack was on high alert, looking at the lunatic who had just disturbed their peace and was acting very brazenly in their territory.
The remaining Crocuta became restless and attacked the spinning lunatic with an aggressive attitude because they couldn't use their agility and nimbleness well.
The low-level monster, who only knew how to fight and survive by fighting, tried attacking but failed and got killed.
The leader of the group, who had observed everything and understood the situation at least to some extent, began to howl as if to address the other packs in the area.
AAAAUUUUUUUU!
AAAAUUUUUUUU!
AAUU!
AAUU!
AAAAUUUUUUUU!
Ignis, seeing all this, began to laugh and curse, as if to show his appreciation of this deed of the leader.
He shouted loudly to Ethyn and warned her, "Ethyn, climb the tree and try to improve as much as you can while the main show is about to begin."
Ethyn, seeing all this, wasn't afraid and began to climb the tree.
'Wow! So many experience points in such a short time.'
Then she climbed the tree, sat down, and took aim while smiling. If anyone had seen her, they would have noticed that her gentle smile had a hint of lunacy due to her desire for these experience points.
"I guess I like it," she mumbled to herself, her soft smile still on her face as she listened to the wringing notification.
All the members of the Crocuta were soon dead, except for the leader, who continued to howl and retreat.
Ignis, who had just received a level-up notification, disregarded it and continued to stare at the pack leader as if he were staring at a silly toy while yelling, "Call them all quickly!"
