5 Odds Are Against Us
When Dio reached the forest, he immediately started hearing strange noises from multiple directions. He realized he was surrounded. In time, the sounds grew closer and at the same time, 3 black boars suddenly jumped out of the bushes and started dashing towards him from 3 different directions. Dio, due to his brilliant mind, immediately thought of the best course of action. He could not dodge the boar's dash in time so he activated the only skill that he could use right now, [Sloppy butcher], and started spinning very fast with his two fists positioned horizontally In the opposite direction of each other. As the boars saw this, they tried to stop their dash towards dio but it was in vain. They could not stop in time and got hit by his attack. When Dio's fists collided with the boars and they were knocked back, one blue square appeared in front of him

[Sloppy butcher] has not been activated due to the user not meeting the requirements to use the skill!

Dio frowned when he saw the result of his attack. He should have taken a closer look at the skill. It clearly says he needs to have a sharp object which he did not have...He shrugged and thought that he won't ever do the same foolish mistake again. In the future, he will most probably read each skill's description very carefully...Probably.
After the filthy beasts got hit and were sent flying by Dio's attack, they started roaring and stomping their hoofs in anger but dio was not even fazed by this act and even started yawning. He was more concerned about the fact that he didn't know the speed at which his MP regenerates, but just then the blue square appeared yet again!

Mp regeneration: 1 MP in 20 seconds

When Dio saw this screen he was pretty relieved since he did not have to test the speed at which his mp regenerates anymore. But the bad part was both that the skill's cooldown was pretty big and now he even had to wait 60 seconds for his mp to regenerate so that he could use the skill again! He needed to do 2 things for now, either increase his mp regeneration or the total amount of mp that he could have and the second thing he had to do was decrease [sloppy butcher]'s cooldown since it seemed like a pretty good skill! It even had a rare tag next to it so it must be good!
As Dio finished his concentration which only took about a second, he lunged at one of the lvl.3 boars and punched him right in the gut, sending him flying and instantly killing him.
When the other lvl. 3 boar saw this, he was enraged because a puny and weak human had managed to kill one of his brethren so he started running in the direction of the human who had his back turned to him. The boar wanted to impale Dio with his big white tusks but to his surprise when he was just about to impale Dio, the human did a backflip landing right behind him and kicking him in the family jewels. The boar died a moment after that dirty hit.
After the boar's death, the lvl.4 boar which was presumably the leader of this small pack was pretty scared and took a step back. As Dio saw this, he made a hand gesture towards the boar, basically telling him to come and try to kill him. The boar accepted Dio's provocation and started dashing towards him just like the other 2 boars but to the boar's surprise, Dio turned his back toward him and started running deeper in the forest. The boar was pretty shocked and he thought that Dio was scared for his own life so he paid it no mind. Too bad he could not see his face. He was smiling wickedly with crazed eyes. He looked just like a monster in a human disguise...But I guess he isn't human judging by his species.
As the boar was a few centimeters away from Dio, ready to pierce him with his sharp and shining tusks (because of the moonlight), Dio jumped and grabbed onto the branch of the tree in front of him doing a 360 degrees rotation and landing on the back of the boar. The boar was stupefied by Dio's professional acrobatic movement. He never expected a human to be so smart, deceiving and cunning! At the time Dio landed on the boar's back, he started bashing the animal's skull with his bare hands. After a few seconds, the creature collapsed on the ground and died due to its extremely fatal injuries.
As Dio got off the boar's back ,he could clearly see the beautiful level up pop up presented by the best blue square in existence .

Dio, with a smirk on his face and excited about his successful hunt, started heading toward the direction of the boars that he killed earlier with a fantastic sequence of unbelievable acrobatic movements. Just as he was about to reach his hand inside the belly of the lvl.4 boar, he heard someone shouting his name from behind him with a lot of killing intent.
"Diooooo !! !!! !!!!"
As dio turned around to see who it was, he was shocked to see...
