Finding myself at the edge of a clearing.

Sensing someone or something is watching me.

Closing my eyes to listen to my surroundings.

I can hear soft scuttling and the slight movement beneath me.

The sound stops and everything is silent again.

The ground trembles and there is loud screeching from all sides

The ground trembles and there is loud screeching from all sides.

Something busts from the ground.

Dust flying everywhere clouding my vision.

A sharp stinger came right at me, narrowly dodging it.

Hissing at the scratch on my arm. It feels like a second degree burn.

Ring ~


My health is slowly  dropping while I stare at the countdown on the screen

'Well at least I did not lose a lot of health.'

The dust settles around me.


Staring at more than 7 scorpion-like creatures hissing at me

Staring at more than 7 scorpion-like creatures hissing at me.

They are the size of an SUV car, most parts of its body looked like it was made out of tree bark, the back was covered with grass and a long tail with a large stinger at the end.

Forest Crawlers, nasty piece of shit. They are B-rank magic beasts with extremely hard exoskeleton and they are fast, aggressive and a drop of their venom is enough to kill a hunter within minutes.

Luckily for persistence, I am slightly immune to it.

Taking out Rasaka's Scale.

"It is kill or be killed, right?"

Sitting down with my back against a tree after defeating the Forest Crawlers to catch my breath.

It is harder than I thought. I have never fought a B-rank creature but with persistence, 20% damage reduction, wolf slayer and battleborn, it makes things a little easier for me.

Resting enough, I got up to loot whatever I could put in my bag.

Looking at my ruined clothes, "I guess I need to get some new clothes..."

Funny thing is that I am unsure if there are any forms of civilization in the Red Gate. But there is no harm in exploring a little.

After trekking a long while through the forest.

Finding myself standing in the middle of a dirt road with tires and animal tracks.

"At least now I know there are people living here..."

Following the tracks to a wooden sign with an arrow with strange words that somehow I am able to read.

"Amora Village..."
