"No! This thing is a wolf!" Tear faced the beast in front of him with sharp eyes as his heart began to beat faster.
It wasn't just a normal wolf. It was around half the size and was made of natural materials. Tree bark, leaves, and even some stones.
On its head it had some sort of catapult contraption the size of a hand made of vines and what looked to be a wooden spoon.
A small pebble formed inside of the wooden spoon out of thin air. The catapult spoon was cocked back by the vine before launching the stone forward.
It went straight for Tear's forehead again, but this time Tear moved to the side to dodge it.
"What... a weird ass creature." Tear was confused by it at this point more than scared.
"But the fact that it can generate stones from nothing is interesting. At the very least, that means this world has more Aura than Earth."
The wolf had enough of waiting, lunging at Tear before swiping at him with its stone claws.
A bit of fear made Tear's reaction time slower, causing him to get a slight scratch on the arm before rolling to the side.
He stopped near a tree, quickly grabbing a small stick that he found.
Now that he was on the floor though, he was much slower. The wolf turned to face him, bearing its sharp rocky fangs.
It hopped in the air again, landing right above the young man. One of its feet pinned Tear's right hand down--the hand holding the stick.
'Fuck!' Tear freaked out, feeling the hot breath of the wolf mere inches away from his face.
The wolf attempted to bite his face off, but in that split second Tear managed to dodge his head to the side.
His adrenaline rose through the roof as his primal fight-or-fight instinct kicked in. Gritting his teeth he exclaimed: "Like hell I'd die so soon after finally arriving to a decent world!"
'Transfer.' He said in his mind.
The stick from his right hand instantly disappeared and materialized in his left, allowing him to stab it right into the face of the creature.
It pierced in surprisingly easily, but that made sense since most of the wolf's face was made of leaves.
Tear pushed the beast off of him and onto the floor, quickly getting to his feet before dislodging the stick from its face.
Without hesitating, Tear drove the stick down from above his head with full force--plunging it into the wolf's head over and over again until it finally stopped squirming.
He was panting heavily by the end--green bodily liquid all over him.
"That..." He panted, "Was exhilarating." He wiped the green blood off of his mouth area.
*Ding*
Tear suddenly heard in his head. It was similar to how the information from GG entered his mind.
[You have slain an Earth Wolf.]
[You leveled up!]
[You leveled up!]
[Current level: 3]
[Level needed for next spell: 10]
These messages popped up like small transparent notifications in front of his retinas.
'Huh? I leveled up? Like in a video game?' He noticed the bottom message and his eyes began to glow with excitement.
"Level 10 huh... I'm not too far off already."
Now that he had dealt with this sudden encounter, Tear decided to do what he was about to do before he got interrupted.
"GG, open my status." This was another thing that he was automatically informed about.

Tea---Tyr was highly intrigued by all of this information.
'It really is just like a game.' He thought to himself, looking over all the stats one by one. 'My name is spelled with a y huh? Come to think of it, Gramps never really taught me how to spell my own name.'
He looked down at his body: 'And I'm 15.' He couldn't help but smile slightly: 'Feels good to be young again. This time, I won't let it go to waste. Now, I have four stat points remaining. I guess that means for every level, I get two of these points.'
He looked over his stats for a few more seconds before deciding what to do.
'I don't get what's up with my Aura stat, but it seems I can't level it. Maybe I need to unlock it in the future somehow. For now, since I like the idea of close combat fighting more than anything else, I'll put my stats into Strength and Speed.'
[Strength: 7-->10]
[Speed: 5-->6]
Despite only putting a few points into his stats, he instantly felt the difference in his body.
His limbs felt lighter, his muscles becoming slightly more dense and powerful as his tendon's and ligaments were relieved of some stress.
It was starting to get late so Tyr decided to try and find a place where he could camp out for the night.
Before he moved on, however, he checked the Earth Wolf for anything he could salvage.
After poking at it with his stick for a minute or so, he found a small, shiny orb the size of a marble within its chest area.
It was gray in color but still had a dim light illuminating it. It was warm, as though it was filled with hot water.
Just by looking at it, it seemed valuable, so Tyr kept it.
For the next three hours, Tyr worked tirelessly to set up a campsite. He ensured there was a reliable water source nearby, locating a stream not too far away.
His actual camping ground was on a hillside. The hill being a big ass mountain, that is.
He chose this spot because he found a small hole in the wall that he could live in.
It was a round cavern room about 10 feet in height and 15 feet in width. Fairly cozy without feeling like too much.
Most of his day was spent trying to get a fire going.
He tried until the sun fell over the horizon and the moon lit up the forest canopy. Using hand bow drills, spinning sticks, and whatever else he thought would have a chance.
In the end, he couldn't even get a single ember. After all, this was real life, not some fantasy novel or anything like that.
Miracles wouldn't happen just because you really wanted them to.
Exhausted, he patched together a leaf door for his cave and fell asleep in no time.
Today had been his first few hours in this world, but the coming sunrise would mark the beginning of his first day.
Although slightly overpowered by everything that had happened in the past 24 hours, Tyr was more than ready to kick start his new life off in a firey manner!
