Nathan moved within the forest steadily. At the same time, he paid attention to his surroundings, considering that the moment that he stepped out of the city, he was no longer under the protection of the city.
Within the forest, it was a person for his own life. As long as he was not strong enough and he encountered a monster that was stronger than himself, there was only death that was awaiting the person that was out of the city.
Of course, the most dangerous thing to encounter during the time that a person was out of the city was a monster tide. If a person encountered such a situation, if they were not capable of getting away on time, they would definitely be killed by the monsters.
As he began venturing into the forest, Nathan grabbed the dagger in his hand tightly. This was going to be the first fight that he was going to engage in after he entered into this world.
He was already in possession of the memories of the previous Nathan, but even then, he could not help but look forward to a fight with a monster of this world. According to the information from the memories of the original Nathan, he understood that there was a difference between the monsters of this world and the monsters of his own world.
Since he was an assassin, the best thing that he could do was to get information about the target. But right now, he was doing the hunting of monsters, and that was something that was completely different considering that the monster that he was going to encounter was not going to be something that he had initially anticipated, but instead, it was something that could happen at any time.
The reason why he was doing something like this was simply because he wanted to become stronger. Additionally, he did not want to end up in the same situation that he had ended up during his previous life in his own world.
If he actually possessed the capability of fighting with an opponent face to face, it would definitely not have ended the same way that it did. But even then, he does not as if he was regretting coming into this world, considering that this was a chance for him to level up and become stronger before he went back to his own world if possible.
It might be true that he was an assassin, but that was only in the dark. In the light, he was going to be Nathan, and he had to live as Nathan. He had to make sure that he lived his life completely different, during the time that he was an assassin, and during the time that he was Nathan.
That way, he would be able to avoid enemies that would be capable of knowing the techniques that he utilized during the time that he was an assassin.
The only problem that he was currently encountering was the fact that the system had decided to limit the number of skills that he could possess to seven. In that situation, he could only go ahead and divide the skills that he possessed, so that he could have some of them to be utilized in his assassination missions, while the others would be utilized during situations like the one that he was currently in.
As he moved within the forest, he could hear the roars of monsters in a distance. Usually, the monsters that would roar out like that were actually the leaders of a territory within the surrounding area.
Finally, after about 30 minutes of venturing into the forest, Nathan finally encountered his first monster. The monster that he encountered was a tiger.
In his own world, although it was true that the monsters in that world had mutated, but even then, the sizes that they possessed was not that much different from the original monsters. They had only become slightly bigger than before, but that was all.
But right now, in front of Nathan, the tiger that had appeared was extremely big. It possessed a height of about 3 m, and the gigantic frame of the tiger was quite intimidating.
Just as Nathan was observing the tiger, a panel of information suddenly appeared in front of him.
[Forest tiger
Power level: 1 star level 8]
The information was quite simple, just giving him the name of the creature that he was facing, and the power level. But even then, he could not help but be surprised by the fact that he had actually encountered such a high level monster the moment that he had just entered into the forest.
It was true that he had been moving around for more than 30 minutes, but even then, he was not moving at an incredible speed. Instead, he had been moving around slowly, and he was currently within the periphery of the forest.
To encounter this monster right now, there was definitely something wrong. It might be due to the fact that his luck was quite good due to the fact that he was at the same level as this monster, or bad had it been for the fact that he was at a low level.
In any case, the tiger did not give Nathan a chance of thinking. The moment that it spotted a human, it immediately roared before it charged towards him.
The monsters that had reached the 1 star rank did not possess that much intelligence. They usually followed the instincts, and the instincts of most of the monsters within this world was to destroy any human that they found.
The moment that the tiger began moving, the speed at which it was moving was incredible as compared to the body size. Nathan had not expected that it was going to move so fast.
But even then, with the experience that he possessed in his previous life, he was capable of reacting accordingly. The moment that the tiger swiped its claw towards him, Nathan immediately bent backwards, with his knees on the ground.
Swoosh!
Nathan felt the air blowing on his face as the claw of the tiger flashed past him. But even then, it was not as if Nathan was just going to dodge. The moment that the tiger was flying above him, Nathan immediately used the dagger that he possessed and struck towards the abdomen of the tiger.
Puchi! Roar!
The dagger was able to penetrate the abdomen of the tiger, making it roar in pain. But even then, it was not as if Nathan was going to give it a chance of retreating.
Although he was not that much familiar with the skills that the original owner of the body possessed, with the memories that had already poured into his mind, he was capable of efficiently using the skills, don't not as efficiently as the original owner of the body.
Bang!
The tiger that had attacked Nathan landed onto the ground before it turned around, intending to rip apart this human that had just injured it. But at that moment, it realized that Nathan had suddenly disappeared.
Just as it was wondering where Nathan had gone to, Nathan suddenly used shadow blink and appeared just below the tiger before he used rapid strike to strike using the dagger that he was holding.
Puchi! Puchi!
Within just a matter of a second, Nathan had attacked 3 times consecutively. The tiger was not expecting that Nathan was going to appear just below it, and it was not able to react on time the moment that he attacked.
