Chapter 1- Near death encounters!

Whoosshhhh!!

Sounded the air as his dagger strikes the head of a Lightning Cat. The head of the cat disconnected from its neck as smelly blood rushed out and splattered everywhere. While the young man heard a voice inside his head.

"Due to killing to much Lightning Cats from now on you will receive 1 xp point for Level and 0 xp point for Skill Proficiency "

"Only one more point and I could level up my Dagger Dash and hunting will be much easier"

The young man watched the body of the Lightning Cat evaporate and leave only a small violet colored crystal. He then pick the crystal and put it to a pouch where the other crystals is.

"And for this Lighting Crystal I'll just add this to the stack, it should sell for 2 credits each and I could buy a decent dagger"

Zenki headed deep in the jungle avoiding every possible danger. He knows the Moon Lake forest just like the back of his palm. He gets deeper and deeper to the east side of the forest till he saw his small hut where he spend his almost 3 months in the first dimension.

There are three dimensions that apeared mystically in Earth, which changed the lives of people. The first one is the easiest and the most peaceful. This is where Spirit Rank Master Level and lower trains their techniques and this is also where they gets their first job class and the weird "system".

Just after arriving to his hut, the door slammed open. He saw a tall man with an incredible physique got out. Touching his beard the man said "Hmm. Is this your house kid?"

"Ahm ye...yes! Who...who are you?" he said with a shaking voice. He secretly gripped his dagger tightly.

"I'm just a robber. Don't mind me, do you have any other useful thing here?"The tall man then tried to grab him.

With a low reflex and strength he can't even see and retaliate properly which led to the tall mans successful grab. From his point of view the man is a Warrior lvl 8 with a swordsman job class. The tall mans attributes is probably 15 or above, especially his strength.

"I... Don't...ha...have anything useful, I'm just a level two assassin. I don't even have a decent dagger"he said struggling trying to resist. But alas his efforts is a waste for the man is very powerful for his level. The man then grab his pouch with his other hand. "Hey! You liar! You have lightning crystals this worth 2 credits each!"

"Nooo!!!" he tried to slash his daggers to the mans hand. But with his daggers slashes isn't even enough to tickle the mans skin it just turned red for a moment.

"Ohh! That's harmful don't try that again you may kill this old man!". You can see his grin while preparing to swing his arm aiming for the young mans cheek.

Zenki heard a buzzing sound splitting the air. Hitting his face the forceful palm leave a stinging pain and a red mark as his body fled almost meters away from the man while puking a mouthful of blood.

"I'll be back in a week, and I'll be collecting exactly 20 lightning crystal thats your punishment for trying to stab me with your dull dagger. You better pay or your head will roll on the ground."

The last thing he could see with his blurring vision is the burly man laughing like a maniac as he head deep in the jungle. His laughter resounded inside is head as eyes began to weigh more than normal making him unconscious. In his two and a half months here if not attacked by the monsters he'll be bullied by wanderers or robbers. He never felt peace for once. He's always on guard but because of poor cultivation and with his Copper Dagger, his dagger isn't particularly dull but almost all his encounter has either thick defense or fast speed leading to a one sided battle.

Almost every fight he got in he'll be beaten to almost dead. There's also one time where he's beaten badly and been unconscious for THREE days and almost died out of hunger. Luckily he saw an almost rotten Red Beaked Chiken the weakest of all the monster. Although he could smell an annoying odor, not having a choice he throw it to the fire to cook and eat it even its just half cook. Sigh, in this cruel world the weak will be bullied by the strong. The rich will dominate the poor.

A few hours later Zenki regained consciousness. But strangely, he could feel something moving on his chest. He touched it calmly and felt something scaly like a lizard. Slowly opening his eyes he could saw a jet black "snake". Although seeing a "snake" in his chest he's not even startled a bit for this is not his first time looking straight to deaths eye. The "snake" is almost the size of his thighs and over ten or so meters longs, it also has a lot of cuts especially the big cuts on its head. Its almost dead from just bleeding. Seeing that the snake's level 20 made him frown. Even bursting all his strength he couldn't even leave a bruise in its flesh. Just from looking at it he could say that a huge sect made the damage or another Level 20 monster.

The sun is already down and the moon is shining brightly. Zenki heard a loud noise from his belly as he bear the hunger. Suffering from hunger he tried to move slowly trying get out of the situation. Although even if the "snake" notice him it may not even give a d*mn cause he's so weak that the snake would not even see him worthy as its food. As long as he don't provoke the "snake" he will not be worthy in its eyes. Knowing that fact he's still cautious like a lion eyeing its prey.

He's trying budge gently, but the "snake" noticed his movement. The "snake" looked at him and roared an ear piercing sound. Zenki shivered as he felt a lot of killing intent just from a single stare from of the "snake".

The "snake" stared at her prey slithering over his body. You could hear her prey, panting heavily.

The killing intent grew bigger and bigger and she opened her mouth showing her with huge white fangs. The "snake" is already weak and bleeding furiously but her pride is also enormous, still acting dominant over her prey. The "snake" prepared to burst all her remaining strength to single strike.

Seeing the "snake" preparing to attack Zenki regained his thoughts. 'Aha!! I could use my first ever lightning crystal that I kept as a souvenir'. He swiftly pulled the crystal from his necklace and attached it to the tip of his dagger. He set his mind to the fight.

The "snake" launched her attack. The fangs closed its distance to his head. While the young man prepared his dagger and aimed for wound on its forehead "Dagger Dash!".

As his dagger touched the wound the crystal on its tip broked and exploded in lightning, electrocuting the snake. Even quivering from the strike the "snake" still landed her strike over her prey's chest leaving shallow wound and a lot of poison inside its body.

Zenki felt an aching pain on his chest, wetting his clothes from poison, blood, and sweat. He blew a mouthful of blood as the pressure of bite sting on his chest. The young man felt time slower while he contemplate his life.

"I think this is my end" he said with tears in his eyes. All he wanted is to protect his little sister and his mom. After his father disappeared without a reason, he's the only man in the house.

He entered the dimension for the thought that he could improve and be strong enough to protect his family. But alas death is again knocking to the door.

Suddenly he heard a voice inside his head. Which brought a wide grin over his face.
