It's been 2 months since I got beaten badly by that samurai. I still continue to train myself and improving all of my weak points.
*Stump!*
*Snap!*
I watch as the arrow that I launch landed few inches away from my intended target. I sigh before looking at my bow. To think I start to like this one and it just snapped.
"Stil....offrr..." I grumble while rubbing my throat. It's still hard to speak but compare to the beginning, it's an improvement. I pull the string off the bow before going to replace it with a new one.
I grab a spare bow strings before setting the bow as I want. Thanks to continuous training, I can now use a string with the draw weight around...
Now that I think about it, I have no idea how to measure its draw weight. But, let's just say it's more tense compare to the previous draw strength.
Yeah, I should stop thinking about it. I just end up confuse myself.
Also, much to my surprise, there are tons of poisonous plants grow around the shrines. I harvest each of them with zero hesitation and made sure I keep few stocks of those poisons whenever I walk around the forest to hunt.
Another thing that I manage to find is the Nature Deer, one of the monster with low chance of spawning and getting tons of exp. Imma be honest, I thought it was a waste of time since exp system is useless here.
Until I try to cook the dead deer. It was easily the best thing I ever eat in my entire life. All I did is roasting the meat and extract the innards. If I have a proper seasoning besides the wild plants I found around here, I could get a better result!
But, I can't help to feel annoyed. Whenever I try to grind, I always made sure I equip luck-boost items so I can encounter those monsters. Each deer can grants 1,5 million exp!!! With how much exp you require just to level up, those exp gains are not to scoffed at.
And now, I encounter one and those exp just got wasted like that...Yeah, I'm still annoyed about it.
Oh well, no use crying over spoiled milk.....or is it spilled milk? I think the former is the right one....or is it the latter?
Gah! Why did this thoughts keep appearing in my head randomly!?!? It's like going through my own Y**tube history after spending hours watching random shit!!!!!
.....I really want to facepalm at how I compare my random thoughts to my own Y**tube history...
Is this how an isekai life actually likes? Slowly going insane for being alone? Nah, it's probably just me, knowing my weird luck.
I look at my bow again before testing the string. Hmm, quite tense, so it's good, right? It's weird to use bow and arrow since I never use it in either my real life or ingame, simply watch tv shows and sports channel.
I wonder if I could made a custom trick arrows like G***n Ar*** from that TV shows I used to love to watch until it end in season 8...
Right, no resources. I seriously need to keep my priorities in check before going wild with my fantasy. Gotta be realistic, Darren....
I grab an arrow with the wasp's stinger as the arrow's tip and draw my bowstring. I aim at my target before letting go of the string.
*stump!*
Still miss my mark. If this keeps up, I might not be able to hit a moving target. Flashes of that stupid bunny wiggle its butt mockingly after I miss it played in my mind.
I grab another arrow and draw my bowstring again but this time with more forces. I let go and-
*snap!*
I accidentally use my claw to cut the string when I let go. I seriously gotta need to control my anger or else I might did something I regret.....
Speaking of claws, I never notice about how it grew so long. And not only that, it's much sharper than back then. I remember how after getting up from my first training, I try to claw a tree but end up broke it.
I still baffled at how the kobold were so weak, even one of its greatest weapon were so bad. Seriously, what's with the developers and their hate towards the kobold?
Okay, sorry, my mistake. What's with the higher beings and their hate towards their own creation!? I swear, it's like these species wronged them at the ancient time and give them curses that affect even their future generation!
But, there's no way that is how it happens, right?
...now that I think about it, I remember one of the god were so mad at offer given by the village for not being a high quality, they turn all the citizens into goblins who got overwhelmed by their instinct, hatred and cruelty that they kill each other.
.....okay, they might be THAT petty.....perhaps, maybe it's the same god that curses the ancient kobolds and the current generation.
But alas, I never fully progress the side stories, so I will never know more about it. Seriously, I bet there's side stories that will give me much info about Hanzo and the shinobies.
I truly regret for skipping side quest. I become more curious of the game's world building. In fact, I got itches to go outside and explore the world, see what it can offer me, while looking a way to go back.
....yeah, I think I would love an adventure around this world.....but, how? I'm a kobold, a monster, and everyone will mistook me as an extra exp loot.
Wait, I remember that there's a certain type of Beastmen in this world! I facepalmed for forgetting that Beastmen exists. How can I forgot about the living furry!?
There's wolfsmen tribe that somehow share similar design as Kobolds!! But, with much more muscles, much more regal, and so much more! If I can get clothes, I might disguise myself as wolfsmen!!
I can't help but grin widely. I'm gonna get myself stronger, kill that stupid boar and my final trial of being ready to tackle the outside world, putting Hanzo to rest!
That's my current goal, and I'm going to fulfill that goal! No crazy wild boar or self-proclaimed 'Shinobi' will stop me from fulfill my goal!
My first goal's roadblock, Silver Tusk Boar. Just prepare yourself, you fucking pig. Once I train myself stronger, I'm coming for you, and it'l be like old times! I'm gonna get that tusks of yours as my trophy and as my weapon's material!
