A horned rabbit with glowing red eyes, and silver claws lunged out at Haruki.
"Sh*t!" Haruki yelled in pain, while getting in sword position with the stick. The rabbit slashed him bad, but Haruki felt like he could handle it.
"Host has lost 20hp, and now currently has 80hp" the system calmly states before going back to silence.
"Tch. No help from you I figured" Haruki says, disappointed however he wastes no time he stabs the first one in the eye. It screeched out in pain, and as Haruki expected the second one jumped out at him. Haruki who predicted this stabs forward piercing into the rabbit's heart killing it immediately.
"Notice, host has successfully defeated a lvl.2 Razor clawed jack rabbit. Host will receive bonus experience for killing his first monster. Host is now lvl.3 and has gained ability Fireball." The system exclaims, before a HUD displays in the right corner of Haruki's eye as a small square.

Haruki didn't have time to react because the last rabbit slashes at him releasing a red materialized claw strike at him. The attack left deep cuts on his abdomen the attack did additional damage as it sent him into a tree.
"Warning! Host has taken critical damage, damage analysis determines you've lost 80hp, and current has 45hp left!" The system announces, as an alert. Haruki was surprised the system actually cared for him, but that last attack strained his body.
Maybe I should test my knew fireball skill, Haruki thought while raising the stick to aim at his opponent. He then imagined a fireball forming at the end of the stick, he decided to put half his MP into it. Because this rabbit seemed stronger and he knew that a fireball with only 6MP behind it wasn't going to do much. The fireball was half the size a basketball, and right as the razor clawed jack-rabbit leaped at him he imagined the spell firing.
BOOM! The rabbit was turned to ash along with Haruki's improvised sword, he was breathing hard.
Using half my mana stores sure took a toll on me, Haruki thought, while walking out the forest.
"Notice! Host has reached lvl: 6, as a result of defeating a lvl: 4 frenzied razor jack-rabbit, now displaying menu to show what the host has gained." The system announces, in a surprised tone.

Man I'm not strong, but Im not as weak as before. I wonder what that unrelenting skill is though, Haruki thought, as he began onto a path that led to a small town.
"System, what is the skill unrelenting?" Haruki asks in his head with curiosity.
"Answer. It gives the host the ability to ignore pain and physical damage for 30 minutes." The system responds with haste.
I see so it's giving me the edge by allowing me to think clearly even while hurt, Haruki thought in his head. Haruki knew that these skills are extremely useful to him, and it made him wonder the benefits of them once they reached their peak. Just the thought of it made a bolt of excitement run through Haruki's spine.
As he approached the town's gate, he was stopped by two soldiers who looked like they've seen countless battles.
The older looking soldier with a grey beard stepped up. "Your travel card, please. And if you do not have one you can be provided with one for the cost of 30 silver. However if this is your first travel card it is free." The guard said to Haruki sensing he wasn't from this region. He could tell by his clothing.
"It is my first time in this region. May I please get a travel card?" Haruki replies, he was relieved that things were going smoothly. He had worried if they'd question his attire, or if they're was some kind of entry fee. The same guard pulls out a box with a orb inside and a slit at the bottom on the outside.
"Please place your hand on the orb, and relax. It will take some mana from you then print your name, race, and whatever guilds you may enter. It will update and display on your card as its made from the mana it takes from you." The guard explains to Haruki, seeing that he was lost.
Haruki placed his hand on the orb and it took some mana before glowing purple for a while, the it turned white. And like he said it display his name, and race. But since he wasn't in any guilds there were none there.
"You're all set Haruki, I'm the town's gatekeeper, my name is Ivorg. Stay out of trouble if you know what's good for you. Other than that enjoy your time in the town!" Ivorg said with a warm friendly smile on his face. Ivorg opened the gates for Haruki, and he walked inside.
Haruki eyes immediately weng wide, there were people with cat ears and a tail. And even lizard people, but what really caught his eye was the mage that was perfectly manipulating his magic into shapes and animals. It was a show, and a early recruitment tactic for the mage school in the town. That much was obvious to Haruki who was from another world. It was kind've like when he was in highschool army recruiters came, and did activities while recruiting people for the military after highschool.
Jeez why am I thinking about that cramped planet while I'm literally in a fantasy world, Haruki chuckled at the thought.
"I need to find a way to make money" Haruki sighs, while scratching his head.
