A wierd looking creature covered in black, it's back so huge, and it's hands and legs like Wolf and it's face like a hungry nasty Hyena with no eyes and a Lion's tail, it's mouth was leaking of saliva as it could smell Alex's presence. About 7 foot tall monster, looking down on Alex.
When Alex uses his Sage Vision, his eyes were glowing golden. It wasn't that bright, but this was the first time his eyes were glowing.
Alex wastes no time and uses quick dash from one point to another trying to get close to the wierd monster.
The monster raises it's claws towards him, Alex effortlessly dodges it and tries to hit the monster. But the monster was quick to respond and Alex had no choice but to back down.
"Close range isn't working I need to try something else"
Alex tries the same method again, but this time he tricks the monster and instead heads behind of the monster pulling it's tail.
Alex hopes to slam it on the ground or at least ruin the monster's position by pulling it's tails, unfortunately for him, the monster was too heavy.
He immediately backs down and now both of them were slowly moving round and round, acknowledging both of their strengths.
In the next try, Alex manages to hit the monster but his jacket gets torn from the monster's sharp claws. The punch didn't hurt the monster at all. Alex was still extremely weak in terms of this world's settings even though he was quite strong as per the human standards.
For the next 15 minutes Alex dodges the monster's attacks while trying to land punches.
It was hard for him to attack the monster's pressure points.
The monster slightly slips in the middle of the fight, Alex grabs his fist tight and swings his hands towards the monster's rectum. He manages to hit it somewhat but the claws went deep into his left hand.
Blood was leaking from his left hands, as he retreats 8 meters far and stops the blood leakage with his right hand.
'This is bad, this monster is way too fast and sharp despite his foolish appearance.'
The monster was extremely angry and runs towards him. Alex was getting a little nervous as he was now in the defensive.
He quickly grabs a handful of sand near him and throws it into the monster's eyes. But he forgot that the monster don't have eyes, but due to pure luck, the monster sneezes for a second.
That second was more than enough for Alex to retreat. He quickly finds a well sturdy tree branch, breaks it with his right hand and charges at the monster. "This is payback for earlier" He stabs the monster in it's legs.
Alex quickly maneuvers towards the monster's back sitting on top of it, grabs his fist tight and starts hitting it with his hands. Each time he hits it harder and harder to the point where his hands were totally red from bruises.
The heat of the moment was so tense, Alex didn't realise he had broken a bone or two from his hands.
Each impact made the monster scream louder and louder in pain, going crazy the monster rolls on the ground.
But Alex had his grip tight on the monster's fur, determined to not let go.
Soon the monster slams it's back on a huge old tree, Alex was squished in between. Loosing his grip on the monster he falls straight to the ground.
Seeing Alex fall, the monster quickly jumps on his top and tries to bite his neck, Alex manages to block it's mouth with his hands. But the sharp teeths were now penetrating deep into his right hand.
Nearby there was a rock, Alex grabs it immediately and slams the monster in it's head.
While the monster was disoriented from the hit, Alex jumps on top of the monster.
[Quick Dash]
Holds the stone tight, raises it high and keeps hitting it until it was weakened.
The monster starts running extremely fast hitting itself on the trees continuously. Alex had to throw the stone and didn't loosen his grip this time.
The monster was now running towards an another large tree few meters ahead, in the free time, Alex takes off his shirt and coveres it up onto the monster's neck, and pulls up the sleeves with full force.
Right before hitting the tree, the monster slows down and saliva was leaking from it's mouth, desperately moving it's arms but unable to do anything and after few minutes quiets down.
[You have slain a Hybrid Hyena]
[You have gained 35 Exp]
Right when the message pops up, Alex looses his consciousness.
[Vitality : 17]
It system turned red when it showed up.
The entire place was messed up, broken trees were everywhere. It was a nasty street fight. Not even the world's strongest human could have won against this monster, that's just how the standards of this mysterious world was.
3 hours later -
Alex immediately wakes up confused.
"I just woke up but why do I still feel sleepy?"
[Vitality : 291]
A crow was standing on top of the monster's body, it was staring straight at Alex and flies away the moment he wakes up.
Alex didn't saw it. Rather his whole attention was on the monster.
"I'm sorry. If I didn't kill you, I would have been the one dead. May your soul rest in peace." Once he clapped his cheek, he starts eating the monster.
By this point Alex was used to this wild life, he hardly felt any disgust eating anything. Even if it was an ugly Hyena. Though still not sure about the Snakes.
Trauma is a trauma for a reason.
After eating for 3 full hours, Alex was full. Blood was all over his mouth and his body. He looked like a serial killer.
"Let's see how much I have progressed"

"I'm still not confident to face any of those big three, the Spider, the Ancient Snake or that Serpent with these weak measly stats."
"I gotta look for a fine tree branch for a weapon"
Alex continues moving towards where he left the sword. With my current strength I can at least lift the sword.
'This place don't seem like humans would even come visit. That sword is my only hope in having an actual weapon and that also improves my strength and stamina.'
Soon he comes across a bunch of boulders stacked together. He could hear a cry from that place. It was a group of dark mysterious goblin like monsters attacking a blue Panda.
The Panda was using itself as a shield to protect it's baby that was crying aloud.
Alex looks at the Goblins with angry expression. The blood of the Panda was spilled everywhere, the baby Panda was hiding in the corners of the boulder with his mother's blood split even to his face.
Alex grabs a stick he found in the middle of the road. "Time to sleep Goblins" Alex exalts a deep voice.
