Ren was awakened by the bright light of daylight entering the hotel room and the chirping of birds outside. In the game he was playing, "Burning World," there is a time difference between the game world and the real world. Specifically, 3 hours in the game is equal to 1 hour of real-world time. Thus, most professional players are actually sleeping in the game to maximize their in-game time and achieve optimal results.
"Good morning me"
Ren woke up early and bought five plates of eggs and toast with cheese for breakfast, leaving him with only 26 copper coins remaining. After finishing his meal, Ren left the inn in order to find Vasile. After asking around for directions, he encountered a tall, imposing warrior who had seen him approaching and greeted him by asking in a curious tone.
"Now thats a new face, who might you be and what brings you to this part of town."
"My name is ren and i am a new adventurer i here to learn the thugs skill."
"Tell me what kind of kind of weapon do you use."
"I use a spear."
"Then i can teach you two skill thrust and consecutive strike it will be 10 copper for each."
I paid the guy training session fee, and Vasile proceeded to demonstrate the skill using a nearby spear. After observing the skill in action, Ren learned the skill and received a notification confirming the skill had been acquired. Vasile then advised Ren to test out the skill by performing it on a nearby straw dummy. The two skill are very simple.
Thrust

Your next attack becomes empower and deals 100% of your attribute and weapon damage. Has a 10% chance to Pierce arnour.

Consecutive strike.

Upon activation, the consecutive stike skill allows the user to increase the attack speed by 50% for a period of 3 seconds. During this time frame, melee weapon attacks also deal 50% more damage than normal. Once the 3 seconds are over, the effects of the skill ends, and melee weapon attack speed and damage returned to its usual state.
Mastery 1 - 0/1000

"Versile is there anymore skill i can learn."
"No, these are the only skills you can learn from me. If you want to learn more, you'll have to either buy a skill book or reach level 10 and change your class in the city."
After training for a while, Ren decided to take a break and leave the training field to purchase supplies, where i spend 5 coins. Now i was ready to travel back to the inner forest this time fully prepared to face the pack. This time there will be no mistake.
On my way to inner forest, I encountered numerous players, all of them had stopped and appeared stunned by appearance. I responded by simply smiling at the bystanders and increasing his pace. When i finally reached the inner forrest, i took out my spear from the inventory and was searching for targets. I moved quickly through the forest and found a pack of 6 wolves. In an attempt to gain their attention, I threw a stone at them which missed the wolf but still I was able to get their attention.
"Come here beastie, i will skin you alive."
I use "thrust" on one of the charging wolf head dealing a massive damage.

Then use "consecutive stike" to attack other wolves, each of my stike send the wolf flying.

One of the wolf was able to dodge my spear and lunge at me but I pinned it to the ground and punched it in the face, then used my spear as a bat to send it flying back to its pack.

- 40
I nearly killed the wolf pack within a minute, but I am faced with a difficult situation now. All of my skills are currently in cooldown, so to survive, I must use my spear carefully to keep the wolves at a distance. The wolves have surrounded me, leaving only my back free due to using a tree as shield. Three wolves lunges at me at the same time, but i swung my spear with precision managing to hit all three of them.

Its happening again, all this fighting makes my blood boil. My heart rate rises and I feel a wave of euphoria wash over me. A wolf jumped on me and attacked me just after my swing. Without hesitation, I pulled out a portable torch from my inventory and smashed it into its face. Doing a load of damage.
- 120
I did not give the wolf time to retreat. I quickly retaliated by stabbing it with my spear. The wolf wailed in pain and died shortly after the attack.
- 42
Congratulation! You have defeated a Forest wolf.
+ 125 exp
+ 1 Copper coin
My skill are ready to use again, with my skill and the portable torch i was able to quickly kill the remaining wolves without scratch. Maybe its because of my range and my newly obtained skill, but i felt the wolves are very easy to fight.
Congratulation! You have defeated a Forest wolf.
+ 125 exp
+ 1 copper coin
"Alright time to hunt you guys to extinction"
I spent the rest of my time to hunt any wolf i encounter, but strangely there are only wolves in this part of forest i can't find other animals. As i finished the last wolf with a "Thrust" i check on my profile to see my current stats.

"Hmm, that's weird. Why did the lvl 7 wolf have such a small pack? Did it fight with another pack?"
After fighting wolves for an entire day, I noticed four interesting things. Firstly, higher level pack leaders have bigger packs. Secondly, level 7 pack leaders have a skill called 'Aura of Leadership', which gives extra damage to its allies. Third, there is a difference in exp earned from higher level wolves, such as a level 5 wolf providing 125 exp, while a level 6 wolf provides 150 exp, which is an increase of 25 each level. Finally depend on where you hit damage might increase or decrease.
As I wrapped up the day and got ready to return to the village, I heard a tragic wail of a wolf and an angry huff. Looking up, I was surprised to see a pack of wolves running from something. After a short period of consideration, I decided to investigate and see what the commotion was all about.
'At most i will die and loose a lvl no biggie.'
Upon arriving at where the wail came from, an unexpected sight greeted me: a large brown moose surrounded by the corpses of numerous wolves, the huge brown moose was covered in a multitude of bite and claw marks. The moose was brutally kicking a wolf's corpse, while a dead wolf lay in its mouth. The sheer brutality and intensity of the scene was certainly a shock for Ren.
Mutated Moose level 11 (Enrage)
Elite monster
Health: 2116/2500
'What the hell according to elena there shouldn't be any monster higher than lvl 10 near the village.'
Upon sensing my presence, the moose released the wolf body its mouth and charged towards me with an angry gruff. I stood fast and ready to take action, activating my skill "Stab".
- 99
In all the time I have played the game, this was the first enemy I faced that did not get knocked back by my strikes, despite the damage I dealt out being reduced. The moose continued to attack aggressively, using its horns to smash into Ren's chest after being hit, pushing him back. The moose's charge was so fast, Ren had no time to dodge as it barreled towards him.
"Shit this hurts even though system reduce the pain, looks i have no choice but used my free stats"
- 106
I quickly add 10 stats to strength and 5 stats ti dexterity.

The moose once again charge towards but this time i quickly side step and use "consecutive stike" to attack its behind 4 times.

'shit i side step just like buffy's father'
Before I had a chance to celebrate my successful dodge, the moose abruptly stopped and used its hind leg to kick my stomach. The moose's kick was so strong that it sent me flying towards a tree.

Despite feeling sick to his stomach and disoriented from the powerful kick sent his way, Ren quickly got back up. However, his fear of the moose did not set in, but rather, excitement filled his mind. Ren's senses became clear and his excitement compelled him to prepare and dodge the moose's next attack.
"Man even though it hurts so much it feels so liberating. Come you oversize deer i will make a burger out of you. "
Currently i only have 306 hp left and that bastard have 1704. 'If i get hit three more times i will die.'
The moose charged again, but I was able to successfully dodge and land two effective strikes on the mighty creature. The moose attempted a counterattack by kicking me once more, but I was able to roll and narrowly dodge it, avoiding damage. I took advantage of the situation by using my portable torch to burn the face of the moose. This attack not only provided damage to the opponent, but also served to disorient it, giving me an opportunity to follow up with additional attacks and strikes.

I was able to reduce its HP by a significant amount without even taking a single hit this time.
'i can do this i can do this'
I didn't give moose any chance charge again and move around its body while attacking since i heard such animals have hard time to turn around around its body. 'sting like a bee float like a butterfly.'
As the moose's HP decreased to 150, it suddenly slammed its hooves to the ground, causing roots to pop up and bind Ren's legs.
"shit this bad this bad"
The moose turned towards Ren, suddenly, the moose's horns began to glow bright red as it prepares for one more charge.
'I will definitely die if i get hit by that. Looks like i have no choice.'
Using the portable torch, Ren managed to burn the roots, but in the process, the fire from the torch hurt Ren himself.

With the roots finally burnt to ash, Ren was free to face the moose once more. He used all of his strength to escape the moose's charge, but still, the moose plowed into a tree, bringing it down in a massive explosion of splinters and wood shrapnel.
I quickly retrieve my spear, with determined to end the battle immediately, I aimed my weapon at the moose's head using the "trust".
