Dense Forest
Jit suddenly encountered a level 45 tiger.
Jit felt a wave of fear; he couldn't run away
because the tiger's presence was too overwhelming.
Jit decided to attack the tiger, but its defenses were incredibly strong, and his attacks barely did any damage.
Then, the tiger attacked him. Jit tried to dodge, but the tiger's strike was about to land. In a desperate move, Jit activated his Energy Shield, but the tiger's attack still hit.
-53 HP
"It took 53 HP with a single attack!" Jit thought.
Without hesitation, Jit transferred some of his energy points into health.
You have consumed 100 Energy Points.
+50 HP
Then, Jit opened the status window and decided to upgrade his Energy Slash skill.
You have used 5 skill points to upgrade Energy Slash to Rank C.
•Energy Slash(Rank C): A powerful attack that channels energy into a strike, inflicting 15% extra damage to enemies.It consume 20 MP per slash.
Jit checked how many free attribute points he had.
Free Attribute Points: 40
He decided to allocate 20 points to Strength and 20 points to Agility.
[+20 strength]
[+20 Agility]
Jit's heart pounded as he stood face-to-face with the level 45 tiger. His newly enhanced strength and agility surged through him, and he could feel his confidence returning. The tiger snarled, its eyes glowing with hunger and aggression.
With a deep breath, Jit launched himself forward, his legs propelling him with newfound speed. The tiger lunged, its massive claws slashing through the air, but Jit dodged nimbly, his agility making him almost impossible to hit. He countered with a quick slash of his sword, but because of the tiger's thick fur it don't give much damage . The beast roared, enraged by the audacity of its attacker.
Jit tightened his grip on his weapon, his focus unwavering. He dodged again as the tiger's claws came crashing down, and in the same motion, he activated his Energy Slash. A brilliant wave of energy shot from his blade, cutting through the air with incredible speed.
The tiger howled in pain as the energy slash struck its side, leaving a deep wound that bled with dark red streaks. But the beast wasn't done. It charged again, faster this time, eyes blazing with fury. Jit's instincts kicked in, and he rolled out of the way, narrowly avoiding another deadly swipe.
This was it. He had the upper hand now.
With a roar of his own, Jit focused all his strength into one final attack. He charged at the tiger with everything he had, unleashing another Energy Slash, this time more powerful than before. The tiger barely had time to react as the energy slash cut deep into its chest. The massive creature staggered back, its body quivering with the force of the blow.
Breathing heavily, Jit stood tall, his body aching from the intensity of the battle, but his resolve unbroken. The tiger growled one last time before collapsing to the ground, defeated.
Jit wiped the sweat from his brow, his chest heaving with each breath. The battle was over, and he had emerged victorious. He had proven his strength, and this victory was a testament to how far he had come.

I have leveled up four times in a row and gained a skill appraisal!
Oh, what a great skill
•Skill Appraisal: The skill appraisal allows you to access information about any monster, item, or person. It consumes 5 MP per second. However, it cannot reveal information about monsters or individuals who have an intelligence greater than your own by more than 100 points.
The effectiveness of the skill appraisal depends on your intelligence. Many warriors choose not to invest their free attribute points in intelligence, as most monsters lack high intelligence. However, your intelligence can increase without allocating free attribute points by defeating monsters that are of a higher level than you, rare monsters, boss monsters, and dungeon monsters.
It's important to note that even if you defeat these creatures, it doesn't guarantee an increase in your intelligence; they provide random attribute points.
"Thus, gathering information about most monsters and individuals should be easy for me," Jit thought.
Sure! Here are descriptions for the items that Jit collected:
•Tiger Meat: Succulent and rich in flavor, tiger meat is a highly sought-after delicacy among adventurers.
•Tiger Fangs: These sharp fangs can be used in crafting potent weapons or crafting elixirs.
•Tiger Teeth: Smaller but just as deadly as fangs, tiger teeth are sturdy and durable. They can be used as crafting materials for armor or tools, and they are also a favorite among alchemists for potion-making.
•Tiger Leather: This high-quality leather, is both tough and flexible. Ideal for crafting armor and accessories, tiger leather is prized for its durability and resistance to damage. Wearing armor made from this leather offers enhanced protection and flexibility in battle.
•Monster Cores: Tiger Monster cores contain the essence of the tiger. They are often used in advanced crafting processes to imbue weapons and armor with special attributes. Depending on the type of monster, cores can provide various enhancements.
•Gold Coins: A common currency in most realms.Gold coins are the key to thriving in the market, allowing adventurers to trade for vital resources.
Jit began collecting the loot: tiger meat, tiger fangs, tiger teeth, tiger leather, monster cores, and 127 gold coins. He stored it all in his storage ability.
"I have hunted well today. I should return to the city and sell my loot," Jit thought, a satisfied look in his eyes.
With a sense of accomplishment, Jit started heading towards the city, eager to trade his spoils and reap the rewards of his hard work.

Dalton City
Jit returned to Dalton City, the bustling streets filled with merchants shouting their wares and warriors boasting about their latest hunts. He made his way to a modest-looking shop with a sign that read "Monster Core Exchange" swinging gently in the breeze.
Inside, the shop was dimly lit, with shelves lined with monster cores of various sizes and faintly glowing colors. Behind the counter stood a middle-aged man with sharp eyes and a calculating smile.
"How can I help you?" the man asked, his gaze quickly sizing up Jit.
"I want to sell some monster cores," Jit replied, pulling out a small pouch and placing it on the counter.
The shopkeeper opened the pouch, inspecting the cores with practiced hands. "Hmm… I'll give you 300 gold coins for these," he said without much thought.
Jit nodded slightly but then reached into his bag and pulled out another core—a large, glowing crystal with streaks of crimson and gold.
The shopkeeper's eyes widened. "W-Wait… Is that a Level 45 Tiger Monster Core?" His hands trembled slightly as he examined it, the vibrant energy within the core pulsing faintly.
"Yes," Jit replied flatly.
After a moment of hesitation, the shopkeeper said, "I can give you 200 gold coins for this."
Jit raised an eyebrow. "Is it really that cheap? If you won't offer a better price, I'll just take it to another shop."
The shopkeeper's face tensed. He clearly wanted the core but was trying to keep his profit margins high. After a few seconds of silence, he sighed and said, "Alright… 270 gold coins. That's the best I can do."
Jit considered for a moment, then nodded. "Deal."
After the transaction was completed, Jit left the shop, the weight of gold coins in his pouch a satisfying reminder of his growing strength. Without wasting time, he headed toward another shop to sell the rest of his items, determined to make the most of his hard-earned spoils.
After visiting several shops across Dalton City, Jit managed to sell all his loot, earning a total of 936 gold coins. Additionally, from the monster drops he had collected, he gained another 243 gold coins, bringing his earnings to 1,179 gold coins more money than he had ever held in his life.
With a satisfied grin on his face, he tucked the heavy pouch of coins securely into his storage and stepped out into the lively streets. The golden hue of the setting sun bathed the city, reflecting off merchant stalls and the armor of passing warriors.
Feeling the excitement bubble inside him, Jit pulled out his Phone, a simple device used for short-range calls, and dialed home. After a few rings, his mother's warm voice answered, slightly crackling through the Phone.
"Jit? Is everything okay?" she asked, her voice filled with the usual motherly concern.
With a cheerful tone, Jit replied, "Mom, don't make dinner tonight. I'll bring tiger meat for us!"
There was a brief pause on the other end before his mother responded with surprise, "Tiger meat? Jit, that's expensive! I can cook chicken or maybe some low-level monster meat instead. There's no need to waste money."
Jit chuckled softly, his heart warming at her frugality a habit born from years of struggling to make ends meet. "It's okay, Mom," he said gently, his smile growing wider.
His mother began to say something else, likely about being careful with money or questioning how he could afford such luxury, but Jit ended the call before she could finish.
Looking up at the vibrant sky, he clenched his fist around the phone, determination burning in his eyes. "I'll make sure you never have to worry about money again, Mom."
