It's been a month since I came to this island.
In this month other than hunting for food, all I did after I saw the overwhelming strength, of some of the monster's in the middle region, was—train.
I trained so I could gain strength enough, to complete the quest the system gave me.
The quest had two Requirements to be fulfilled, one was conquering this island, in other words, defeating or subduing the strongest on this island. The second requirement is finding something that could be beneficial for mankind.
Unlike the first requirement which was difficult, the second was very easy, the first day I came here I had already accomplished it.
Food—The food of this island or in other words this world can strengthen and heal the physical body of the earthlings.
The reward I got from finding this, was gaining one sub-class which was the merchant class. With this class's skill, I was able to store food that I didn't eat anymore, like the tons of fish that I had fished before but didn't eat anymore.
Now I only need to use it's class authority so I could start selling them to earthlings.
But I didn't start immediately, since if I wanted to use that authority, I would need an overwhelming number of system points, also Mankind is more than 7 billion in population. If I somehow only sell them several hundred thousand of fish that would be unfair, so I would wait until I gather a lot and then sell them.
Leo who had woken up early today didn't train as he usually does, instead he only rested beside the sea. Only when the sun reached the middle of the sky, did he pick up his spear and then mutter to himself with a somehow serious look on his face, "Let's do this!", As he walked toward the middle region.
○●□■■♤♡◇◇♧♧
Taking a deep breath. the ground beneath me cracked a little, as I suddenly moved forward, at a fast speed.
The distance between us was crossed in an instant then I thrust my spear forward.
Stab~!
A stabbing sound came out as the outcome of this Thrust, as the spearhead drove into the heart of a lion, that looked the same as the one he killed a month ago.
Thud~!
The lion's body collapses, producing a huge sound, as an aftermath.
"Hmm, only one strike. it seems I had grown a bit stronger than before, but I should not get carried away" I said as I took out my spear from the lion's heart, painting the ground with its crimson blood.
{who knows if the strength of the gorilla and the snake I saw before were the combat power ceiling that this island has to offer, so I should be more alert, and don't get carried away again}, After putting my spear away I used my sub-class {merchant} 's skill storage to store its body away, since I have already gathered what I would eat today, since once I set the food on the storage I can't take it out again. After doing that. I continued my hunt.
Hunting several kinds of animals like foxes, wolves, lions, snakes and others as I did I purposely left a trail of blood everywhere I proceeded, to lure more, but even so, I still secured a path to flee if things went in a risky direction.
Butchering, slaying and killing. That's all I did for a long time. everywhere I go, the ground turns crimson.
my targets are largely slaughtered in one move if not two at most, which demonstrated how strong I came to be after my training.
Those whom I slew were not weak, most of them had (E rank ) IN ALL their physical status, some were actually around the minotaur's status, while others were above him, even so, I was able to vanquish them in less than two strikes.
After a long time of hunting, what I had been waiting for had come.
In front of me is a gorilla 5 meters tall that looks very strong. As he saw me, he started beating his chest as he roared, "Ummm-um....", Then sprinted toward me. His foothold shattered with the power he applied to his legs as he ran.
I prepared my spear as his right fist came toward me. When it had arrived at the range of my spear. I swing it skillfully, as it deflects its right hand's punch toward the ground to my left.
Without giving it a wink to think, I stabbed toward his chest, but I wasn't able to injure him as he used his left-hand strength to jump back, getting out of my spear range's attack.
I wasn't discouraged that he ran, as I already thought such a thing would occur., So the moment he leapt, I pursued him at high speed, and before it could make a contract with the ground again, I attempted to stab it in the chest again.
The gorilla who saw the spear coming at him put his left hand forth in resistance since he discovered that he couldn't escape this attack.
I who saw that knew that although I might be able to stab the gorilla's palm, that wouldn't give him a serious injury, so I altered the angle of the spear a little, so rather than stabbing his palm, it had gone through the middle of his arm, were his arm veins are packed.
Roar-!
The gorilla roared in pain, as blood began to slide from its injured arm.
Roar~!
Leo who was uncaring and Indifferent to his cries, quickly pulled out his spear, making it shout even louder, while its blood smeared the ground.
After it screamed and kicked the ground for a moment, making cracks on it, its pain turned to fury as it ran again toward me with more vigour than before.
I, on the other hand, was very calm.
I didn't take the initiative to attack it again, only evading and deflecting its onslaught, the whole time while looking attentively at the surroundings to not get attacked while battling with it.
{One punch from it would be enough for me to die, that's how strong is it. Now that I had already made a huge wound on its arm, It will die soon or later by blood loss, so I won't need to attack it anymore. Now all I need is to avoid and deflect some of its attacks until It bleeds to death, that may take some time but I have become somehow confident In my stamina, but the issue is not that, it's... }.
Awoo~
My thoughts were suddenly interrupted by the sound of a great wolf that came out from the forest. It was only three meters high, but my intuition was telling me that it was stronger than the serpent I had seen before.
"As expected, with such sounds and the intense scent of blood, even this strong one will be attracted, even though this should be natural since I had filled the forest with the scent of blood, but this is truly a misfortune, I was only a few steps from slaying him"
Even though I said that I was already getting ready to run.
The gorilla didn't seem to care about the presence of the wolf rather it put all its concentration on me, it swung its fist again toward me, and noticing this, I didn't try to dodge or deflect it, instead I defended myself, as I took the hit from the gorilla willingly, I didn't put any powerful resistance as I let the power of his punch to blown me several meters away.
Boom~
The gorilla who saw that attempted to run toward me, but he was suddenly attacked by the great wolf, making him unable to anymore.
I felt great pain in my hand and couldn't help but swear, " I was only a few steps from killing it why didn't you wait for a little before you came, now not only did I not kill him but I was also injured"
Even as I was saying that I was still running toward the outer region, at my fastest.
"Such a misfortune!!"

———3rd pov———
From that day on, Leo was going nearly every day to fight in the middle region.
he rarely trains anymore, as he found that fighting to the death is driving his physical status to grow faster.
Every day he fought with beasts of the same caliber as the gorilla at least once a day. Most of the time, he was interrupted by other beasts from killing them, but occasionally he was severely injured instead, like when he found the gorilla territory where he had only the choice of running away, but because of their number and the benefit of being in their territory, he was not able to run unharmed.
His spear which had miraculously endured for this long, had shattered causing him to use either his fist or the long sturdy stick he took from a strong tree
Even so, he quickly grows stronger in this environment, of killing and getting killed.
His status board also proved that—
[Condition had been met Baijiquan reached the initial mystery of becoming Baijiquan (Rank E ) ]
[ Basic spearmanship had risen from intermediate-high to high ]
[As the skill {Indifferent} linked to willpower, heart, and the courage of individual Leo, it had risen from (F )to (E)]
[ Calm skill (E) had become (D Rank) ]
[Meditation skill (F Rank) had been created]
today is marking his fifty days since he came to this star. he had already fought more than 100 beasts of the same calibre as the gorilla or even higher and successfully killed about 37 of them.
Even though, Leo was not satisfied because of that, since the time limit of three months is becoming closer and closer.
Leo who had his hair grown a little, and wore a wolf fur, was looking at the sky as he drank water with a thoughtful look on his face.
his legs were bare since the shoes he made constantly got destroyed when he fought, so he gave up wearing them altogether after a while.
As he put the wooden cup, he made to drink water in, down. he said, "It's nearly two months since I came here I wonder what my father, mother and Rose are doing now, I wonder if Donald is still alive, did he run away from the atomic bomb before it arrived? It was cruel of me to only think about him when everything was over, but what could I do at that moment, I only had the time to think about my family, sigh "
As Leo looked at the landscape he couldn't help but feel both loneliness and sadness,{Resting is only getting me these kinds of thoughts, I should go train or go hunting some beasts to switch my mood }, This is also one of the reasons why Leo mutters to himself in a loud voice sometimes even though no one is there to hear him.
Being alone for a long time breaks down one mentally and induces despair and evil thoughts, or so he heard somewhere on the Internet, so from time to time, he tries to talk to himself.
