"I must say Cristan, going in the pitch black of the night to see other fight, that's one hell of way to find inspiration."
"Artists are known to have various methods to acquire inspiration. Some use alcohol and drugs to motivate their creativity, while others prefer to travel to explore and discover, searching for new sights, cultures, and experiences. I as an artist, wants to observe situations or scenarios that involve individuals struggling for survival, A person or animal struggling to survive is often an exciting and riveting scenario, as it portrays a raw emotion and feeling of being truly alive. The urgency, desperation, and determination exhibited by these individuals while attempting to preserve their life, can bring out their most authentic and lively states."
Before Cristan finished speaking, my attention was drawn to the presence of an enemy approaching us. The bear that had entered my field of view was roughly 2 meters tall and had a brown fur coat. Based on its behavior and apparent desire to fight, I believed that the bear had specifically arrived to confront Cristan and myself.
Woodland Bear Level 8
Health: 800
"Well you stay here and watch the show."
"Best of luck."
The bear initiated its assault by emitting a thunderous roar as it raced towards me, i quickly equip my shield to block its charge and to test its damage.

Looks like there is nothing to worry about, the bear's charge was not able to push me back, I retaliate by using "trust" followed by "consecutive strike".

I effectively took down the bear in a single skill rotation, if i had used my extra stat point or bought a new weapon i would been able to dispatch it even quicker. I look back to see Cristan's shocked expression in response to this quick and decisive victory.
"How the... what the hell, how are you able to kill it so quickly you are a new adventurer."
"All this size is not just for show."
" 'sigh' Looks like we have to go deeper in the forest to find something strong for you. Lets go deeper into the forest."
Cristan and I proceeded deeper into the inner forest, as we were both accosted by new enemy bears. However, I quickly dispatch them 'Looks like there is nothing strong enough to fight me in this forest.' While on our way to inner forest i ask some questions to Cristan.
"So Cristan i heard the monster in this forest are nothing compare to moster outside, why is thay?"
"Well the thing is kingdom of Wallachia is in the middle of human territory plus Rasnov is in safe zone, All the new adventurers spawn in villages under safe zone, when you go outside the safe zone you will realise why the creatures inside it are called animals and the ones outside are called monster, its not just the fact most of them have devastating skill or magic its there appearance."
"Can you give me an example of any horrifying creature you saw."
"Well there is one which gives me shivers just thinking about it, it was few months ago i traveling to town called Mons in a caravan, everything was going smoothly but everything change when a monster attack, the creature in question resembles a massive dog with white skin and red tendrils covering its body. With its skin exposed in various sections, it reveals a dizzying array of sharp teeth that cover its insides, allowing it to inflict severe damage to its targets. Its massive, red eyes located on the side of its head complete its menacing appearance, as it stares at you with its intense and bloodthirsty gaze. Half of our guards die and we barely made it to the Mons."
Although outwardly, I exuded a serious and solemn expression, I was quite thrilled on the inside to encounter this small element in the game. Examining these little details in this dark world helped shed a brighter light onto the depth of lore available, which to me was very exciting.
"Cristan i heard that you have rich collection of books, can i purchase or borrow some history books from you."
Cristan stop and looked at me with a amused face.
"You want to read a book!"
"Yeah is anything wrong about it?"
"No its just funny that a thug, specially such a big one like you is asking for a book. I thought all of you guys were meat head."
"Hey its not my fault i am so big, plus whats wrong with thugs reading books."
"Nothings wrong its just my own prejudice. I can't let you buy my books they are part of my collection or even let you borrow it, i fear you will steal it, but you can read it in my room without paying a dime."
"Your are letting me read for free!!"
Cristan chuckle as he spoke
"Consider it a reward for amusing me."
As night was beginning to fade, I expected Cristan to show a look of disappointment since we had not been able to find a challenge suitable for my combat skills and capabilities. To my suprise he was grinning ear to ear.
"Um Cristan the night is about to end and we still didn't find any suitable foe shouldn't you be disappointed."
"What do you mean by that?"
"Don't you wanted to see a life or death struggle. I defeated everyone we saw very easily, your entire night is wasted."
"You are wrong about that Ren, I am seeing life struggling the life of the bear that is."
The words spoken by Cristan caused me to stop and pause, thsn I broke into a boisterous laugh, which was soon joined by Cristan.
"Hahaha oh that was good man. 'sigh' So should we wrap this up then."
"Well there is still the boss of the is forest, but with your strength i doubt there will be any problem. Lets just kill it before we go."
"Sure sure"
In order to end this night of exploration and adventure, we made our way to face Hause, this areas boss. Apparently, Cristan knew the location of the boss base.
"Cristan you were saying about how Wallachia is surrounded by other human kingdoms, how many kingdoms are there."
"The human world is divided into four great empires consisting of Imperium Romalus, Qin dynasty, Urus, and Anatolia, as well as three kingdoms: Wallachia, Rhine, and Oyashima. However, despite being smaller in size, the small kingdoms should not be underestimated, as they have evidently managed to survive the great wars which created the empires. But really all of this nothing."
"What do you mean by that?"
"Even though the various empires of the human world appear to be powerful and dominant, they may not truly stand a chance against other races. Unlike humans, who may have their differences and conflicts within one another, other races such as elves, dwarfs, and even orcs tend to remain united and stand against a common enemy."
"But we humans also unite when face with a greater foe."
"Yes they do but only when situation is already gone to shit, other races don't have any different kingdoms they are called dwarf kingdom, elf kingdom. Do you know when Wallachia was getting invaded by orcs we were also attacked by old Anatolia."
"Well what about the undead?"
"They are always united to extinguish all life. Plus we don't know what kind of creatures exist in other continents."
"Cristan are you telling me all this countries are on a single continent."
"Correct, there had been several exploration fleets dispatched to explore other continents beyond the boundaries of the main continent, in an attempt to gather intelligence about the lands and regions beyond, but none of them returned. This led to a lack of information concerning the other continents, aside from their existence."
I found myself stunned as I absorbed all of this new information. While i was absorbing the new information there is new smirk in Cristan face.
"Although i think this situation will change from now on, since we have you guys."
"Whats that supposed to mean."
"You adventurers are immortal even if you die you will comeback after some time, you guys are the perfect guys to explore the other continents."
"Hmm, that makes sense."
"We reached our destination."
The two of us found ourselves in an open area facing the largest tree we have ever seen. Below the humongous tree was a gigantic bear, which appeared to be resting peacefully on the ground. The beast's size a little larger than that of other bears in the forest, with its body being covered in scars.

"Wake up you fat dobber."
As the slumbering bear awoke from its quiet nap, I did not hesitate for long, as I elected to take advantage of the situation and strike swiftly. Using my skill 'trust', I quickly stabbed the beast in the eye.

The bear cried out it in pain, it was disoriented from being caught off-guard. I took advantage of its disorientation and kept attacking, using my 'consecutive strike' skill to keep stabbing its face.

The bear quickly recovered from its disoriented state and responded with its own attack, as the creature's claws illuminated in bright red color. The powerful strike was delivered directly to my stomach, causing me to be flung backwards by its sheer force.
- 130
"Ah that's how it should be come on."
The pain I felt from the bear's powerful strike felt oddly thrilling and exciting, rather than being painful. The bear didn't waste any time in resuming his ferocious attack, but I managed to retreat and use my javelins to continue to chip away at the giant beast's health

I managed to throw only three javelins at the huge bear before it managed to catch up to me, and as it reached close, it opened its huge maw to latch onto my torso.

Using my spear, I quickly stabbed the huge bear at its neck, which successfully managed to cause it to open its huge maw, releasing its tight grip on my torso. Upon seizing this brief opportunity, I immediately employed my strength and leverage to perform a forceful German suplex maneuver.

"Haha i always wanted to do that."
"Its the first time in my life i seen someone wrestling with a bear."
"Oh i forgot you are here."
"What do you mean forgot, I am the reason you came here."
"I sometimes get lost amidst the battle."
"By the way shouldn't you be focusing on your fight."
While I had turned my back to the bear, it suddenly delivered a massive, crushing claw strike directly to my chest, causing me to stagger and recoil from the great intensity of the blow.
- 85
"Hahaha this night is surely worth it i am getting lots of inspiration now."
I ignore Cristan and ready myself against the bear next assault it stands on its back leg its claw glowing once more i bring all my focus to its claw. With my full concentration focused on the bear's claw, I anticipated the next strike, and I was determined to thwart the beast's vicious attack before it could make contact with my body and cause further damage.
'Now'
I jabbed my spear at its neck using the 'thrust' attack, which not only knocked the bear backwards, but also opened up an opportunity for a flurry of powerful stabs and blows to its torso. With the intent to end the fight quickly, the consecutive stab skill was utilized in my final attacks which targeted vital and vital areas of the bear.
