Chapter 8 - Levelled up!

[-10]…..

Deimos continued to slaughter the Ratmorphs with brutal efficiency, one after the other.

He couldn't shake the feeling that his luck had abandoned him or that the area he was hunting in just didn't have any level 2 monsters.

He had become accustomed to the behavior of the monsters in the area, and it become easier for him to hunt them down. He'd been steadily accumulating experience points as he worked his way through the woodland.

"Finally,"

*phew*

"Oye system, I got +5 to all my stats. Is every time I am going to get +5 stats or will it be different?"

[No, you will get only +5 stats every time you level up]

"No matter how high the level is?"

[Yes]

"Interesting, by the way, why the fuck didn't I get any skill scrolls? I have killed at least 10 ratshit monsters but not a single scroll has dropped."

[Poor Luck]

*Tsk*

"Let's go and find some high-level monster or some humans. I don't want to hunt this ratshit anymore,"

With that said, he continued his trek deeper into the forest, hoping to meet more high-level monsters and reap more rewards.

*****

Deep in the jungle, within the same leveling area, a group of three people were hunting monsters in unison.

"We haven't found a single weapon drop till now, Rose." One of the plain-looking guy spoke.

He was wearing a local brown leather armor as he collected the monster bodies and stored them in some magical space.

"I know right; I think we should head deeper towards the level 5 area. Maybe we will be able to get some elixir along with weapons." Another guy spoke. He was the same as the first guy a little tan in color.

"No Rudrrr, we can't do that. We are only three members and you both are pretty weak," Rose replied.

In contrast to the two other members, her confident strides and superb leather armor implied that she occupied a position of authority within their party.

She flicked her pink hair back and wiped the sweat from her forehead, the leader of the party appeared to act like she had done all the work.

Her leather armor was well-made and accentuated her curves, drawing the attention of the other two party members to a specific region.

You guys already know where right? Ahem... let me continue then,

"Alan, say something to Rudr, pleaseeee"

She gazed up at Alan with her big, innocent eyes. She turned to Rudr and gave him a look that could only be described as pleading. Alan, on the other hand, responded with a menacing glare toward Rudr.

"Okay, okay, I get it."

"Thank you, Rudr! I will treat you to a coffee later, now let's move,"

*Rustle*

A sudden sound of rustling leaves and shrubs drew the trio's attention. When they turned to confront the cause of the noise, they saw a man emerge from the bushes.

Rose couldn't take her gaze away from the man in front of her, captivated by his tall height, perfectly sculpted body, and symmetrical features.

His black hair and eyes only added to his allure, leaving Rose to believe that he was a true work of the gods. She had never seen a man so breathtaking before.

[Machoness activated..]

"Hey guys, I am Deimos. I am new by the way and got lost. Can I tag along with you?"

"YES! Absolutely I will be happy to help you," Rose replied quickly while showing her smile.

She swiftly approached Deimos, extending her hand to shake his hand while giving a slight bend to her body.

Rose's delicate fingers brushed against Deimos's, and they shook hands.

"I am Rose,"

She didn't bother asking the other two party members for their thoughts because they were both staring at her and Deimos like fools.

"So what is your level, Deimos?" She asked.

"I am level 1.

"Actually, this is my first day. Sorry to disappoint you guys." He replied shyly.

"Not a problem, I am at level 3. We can both pretty easily handle this area.

"Come follow me; I will show you around." With that said, she turned and walked away, her ass swayed with every step.

Deimos looked and licked his lips slowly.

"Oye Alan, did you see that?"

"See what?"

*Tsk*

"This guy is no good; I should keep a close eye on him," Rudr thought.

The group of three adventurers now found themselves joined by a fourth member, and they continued on their journey together, to hunt down monsters.

"Rose, do you have any extra weapons? I only had these two knives," Deimos spoke, he showed the two knives which he was carrying.

"Hmm... let me check one second."

She suddenly stopped in her tracks and gazed ahead, her eyes fixed on something.

"Using the system," Deimos thought.

"Sorry Deimos, but I only have this common grade staff. You can take this if you want."

As if by magic, she produced a black, long staff seemingly out of nowhere and handed it over to Deimos.

[Weapon: Black Staff

Grade: Common

Durability= 30/30]

"Oye system, do I have a feature like this?" he asked in his mind.

[Yes]

"Thank you, Rose. I will manage it along with my knives."

"Can you even use staff?" Rudr interrupted.

"I know a little bit, but I will try my best not to bring you guys down."

*Tsk* This fucker," Rudr cursed in his mind.

"I think we are near that cave region, Rose," Alan said.

"Yes, I know. Let's bring that beast down today,"

"That is a level 5 beast, Rose; I think we should go somewhere else to hunt. We are already carrying a newbie.

"What if he makes some mistake? That may become very dangerous," Rudr responded.

"No! With the four of us, we can easily kill that monster. We will make Deimos stand back to give us support from the back,

"You can do that, right?"

"I will try my best,"
