It's the second day of the monster breakout. Well, almost the end of this day, it's currently 8 pm and I should've fallen asleep. But before that, I need my clone to do something.
Shopping! ( Not stealing )
I told the clone to go to a shopping mall and take (not stealing) 2 bags and fill them with stuff (not stealing), such as canned food and a few sets of clothes. Most of these clothes are for the clone of course, as the clothes won't return once the clone is gone.
The shopping mall is also infested with monsters. Specifically, Orc.
Large, green, huge tusk and rocking a huge axe or blade weapon. The normal orc is already huge, and their captain is even more huge. This is probably their nest.
Thankfully they are stupid, so I manage to sneak around and take (not stealing) a few needed stuff.
If you want to know, there are also a few human dead bodies, and it seems like they're piling them up as food. You know, I'm starting to think they have wiped out all the humans in this area. 3 piles of humans have reached the ceiling on the ground floor.
... I don't want to look any longer. Thankfully it's far from the hospital.
I've figured out more things about this clone.
1. He can rest to reduce his fatigue. Food and water help replenish his energy.
2. If I take control or see from his vision, once he's hit I would feel the pain. The clone however feels nothing.
3. The clone is very independent. It would switch its fighting styles if it saw my ordered fighting style as unsuited for him. He would also switch a few methods of accomplishing his mission if mine isn't right.
Very good, I like this skill already.
His results are also very satisfying.

My luck hasn't increased since I got it. Is there even a way to increase it? It's fine for now.
The clone has reached the hospital. He sneaks around the military and uses Flicker here and there to get past some of them.
Once he was near, he would jump up using Flicker and reach the rooftop to meet me.
"Good job"
"Yes... Sir" the clone said while out of breath.
[ Fatigue ( clone ) has reached 80 ]
I will be notified when he's reaching his limit. The clone sits down while still catching his breath.
"Um... You are dismissed, I will summon you tomorrow"
The clone gives a thumbs up and disappears, turning into a smoke and leaving behind my clothing.
I put all the stuff inside my inventory and went back before someone noticed I was there.
Checking the internet again, more groups are being formed to fight monsters, even recruiting people on the internet. But they seem to be inactive after several hours. Only the major ones with a magician in them manage to survive.
Looks like the "Saviour" group is still holding on, I'm surprised.
Major monster hunter groups or hero wannabes are increasing and decreasing at the same rate. They might recruit some people who have shown their skill in killing monsters.
My post, however, had comments such as,
"That is the biggest bullshit I've ever seen lol"
"Bruh, "solo" then who's taking your pictures noob"
"Would you like to join us? We are missing a spot for a clown lmao"
"Killing a single Minotaur without magic is impossible. Unless the Minotaur is debuffed and you're buff from head to toe then it might be possible, you however are just a clown"
Did these pussies never try the Skill? Hah, they won't even think about it.
I wonder how much longer the internet going to last. Once it's gone, these people would scramble around trying to find actual people to impress.
Forget it, not like I want to join this garbage no-skill team. I should rest for tomorrow.

It's the third day, and things have gone from 0 to 100 very quickly.
[ A dungeon Boss has appeared. Please be cautious ]
The first dungeon boss.
From last night, it had gone on a rampage and killed a lot of the Awakened. Every Awakened received the same notice and the government had issued a warning on the beast's location. It goes from the northern part of the city to the southern city in a straight line, killing everyone on sight.
Some Awakened were informed on the internet and tried to be the Hero of the day, but no update came after that, so did the one who went in after them, it goes on and on until the 6 group who went there hasn't made any updates.
Still, some survivors who escaped told the internet they were wiped out by a Minotaur.
Some people didn't believe it was just a Minotaur, which led to more groups going in and leaving no update. So far, 16 groups have made a statement that they will bring down this new boogeyman in town, of course, no update on their progress but a few statements from the survivors said they had been wiped out.
At this point, people started making jokes, mentioning me in every single post tied to this incident saying "Minotaur man! Where are you!" "Where's that guy who slain a Minotaur? Show these people how to handle a Minotaur!"
At first, I also didn't believe it was a Minotaur, but after sending my clone to confirm it, I got my answer.
It is indeed a Minotaur, a lot smaller than the one I've faced so far, but that made it more dangerous. This Minotaur is agile and fast. What's even crazier is that he seems to be a lot stronger despite its size. Some unfortunate Awakened was battling this thing and was caught off guard by its speed. This Minotaur is wielding a huge axe, but that doesn't seem to affect its speed, and they are mercilessly killed.
Magic had almost no effect on this thing, maybe magic resistance? It's a dungeon boss after all.
The military is also powerless against it, they've tried every single anti-tank weapon to no avail.
This is bad, I doubt there's anyone who could take on this thing.
I don't know what the military is doing currently but they need to bomb the shit out of this Minotaur.
... I will continue farming like usual, there's nothing I can do about this. If I do need to face this Minotaur, I need to get stronger.
And also a plan. I can't take on this beast alone Should I ask the internet? I need to gather some Awakened. Let's make a post.
" #Dungeon_Boss
Hey guys, it's me, the one who killed a Minotaur. I heard the dungeon is a Minotaur and a few Awakened squads had tried to kill it with no success.
I'm going to be honest, I have zero confidence in handling it alone, so that's why I'm asking for your cooperation.
First, I need you guys to stop attacking and leave it alone for now. In 2 days, I want to gather all the Awakened in the area to form a plan to kill it.
Of course, this is to give the military a chance to handle it themselves, but if it's too difficult for them, we will lend a hand to them. The military is also welcome to participate in this battle. "
Sounds a bit self-centred.
For now, I need to figure out how strong this Minotaur is. Some people mentioned this skill called "Appraisal" which allows us to see other Awakened and monster status. It's available for me so I purchased it.
I'm going to use it on the Minotaur using my clone.
[ «Appraisal» ]

[ Level: 40 ]
[ STR: 60 ]
[ DEF: 40 ]
[ DEX: 65 ]
[ SPD: 55 ]
[ END: 60 ]
[ INT: 40 ]
[ MRT: 50 ]
So it does have magic resistance, damn, you can't be serious, how the hell are we supposed to kill it?
How can such a Boss Appear so early in the game? No wonder Awakened are dropping like flies.
Magic isn't effective against this Boss, but his defence is weak, so a physical fight is the way to go. But there's barely anyone out there who dares go toe to toe with a normal monster let alone a Boss.
So far, it's only me who dares to do such a thing. But even so, this is too much, I need to level up more. If only I had time...
... Wow, my head just made another insane idea. I get that it's the thing only I can do but the risk is insane.
