~Day 1~
(Post-Sundown)
I'm currently exploring near my base, removing rocks, fighting Grimms, training my aura, juicing berries for water. You know, the ordinary stuff that transmigrators do.

Dammit.
*Crash* [HP: 90/130]
The apathy attacked me from my backside.
'Argh... it really hurts.'
{Aura}
I'm definitely not ready to face something as strong as an Apathy, I'll test it's capabilities before I escape though.
[Inventory: Boulder]
*Crash*
*ARGH*
{Dash}
"You know on second thought, I might as well just escape-"
I bumbed into something...
*Growl!*

[Beowolf]
HP: 200/200
Type: Wolf
Size: 1.5 meters
Abilities: [Lunge] [Claw] [Strike] [Bite]
Description
Beowolves stand on their hind legs, albeit with a slouch, and are extremely muscular.
There is also some bone-like spikes protruding from their arms, back, and knees. Their hands and feet are also tipped with long, sharp, white claws. They can vary greatly in size, with the average specimen being about the size of a human, but with larger Beowolves appearing that can be more than twice as large.
- - -
"That's fucking unlucky." I'm definitely investing status points on luck after this.
{Dash}
"Guess I don't need to escape afterall."
Time for a different plan.

{Aura} {Dash}
I fought the Beowolf while avoiding the Apathy's attacks,

[Apathy]
HP: 1202/1430
Type: Humanoid
Size: 3.4 meters
Abilities: [Ear piercing screech] [Willpower drain]
Description
The Apathy is humanoid in shape, somewhat similar to the Imp, but are very tall, with long arms that reach down as far as the ground and extremely long fingers. They have hideous faces, resembling skulls, some even lacking nostrils, and low-hanging jaws.
- - -
Luckily for me, my gamer skill prevents all mind related attacks, so it's mostly harmless apart from the fact it could kill me in a few punches. 'though, if only the screeches doesn't make flinch from the sheer loudness everytime.'
The Apathy was a pain to dodge but it was bearable, it only swung it's hands from side to side and sometimes it would throw a punch.
And also, the Beowolf was kind of annoying to fight, it kept dodging my boulders and most, if not all of my counter attacks doesn't work against the Beowolf.
I was also maintaining my aura to let me see in the dark. So I had to rest in between battles going just about anywhere to catch a break.
Apart from that I also observed their moves carefully, watching each step and windup to find openings and opportunities for a counter.
- - -
[Lunge: Enemy]
I just block it using a boulder as a shield. it does stun the Beowolf but not long enough for me to launch a counter.
[Will Power Drain: Enemy]
*SCREECH*
It's loud... and that's it.
[Claw: Enemy]
I get hit everytime it does that...
It's quite a miracle it doesn't do it often,
the damage is not much.
But the attacks are often enough to keep me on edge.
[Strike: Enemy]
The Beowolf bent it's legs and at have at least a 3 second wind up, with probably a good lethal amount of damage.
Though it doesn't matter, I parry it, block it or just dodge it super easily.
[Ear Piercing Screech]
It's a lot louder than will power drain, though it's not something to take note of.
[Bite: Enemy]
It damages itself everytime because of my boulder blocking it, with the same windup as the strike.
Overall the Beowolf was just annoying and slightly more dangerous than a boarbatusk.
"Though you'll be one heck of an opponent if there was more of you-"
{Punch/A: Enemy}
*Crash* [HP: 60(44)]
The Apathy was not attacking so I just forgot about it after 30 minutes of fighting...
'You sly bastard.'
After that it was just the same strategy, so nothing interesting. This though I definitely kept my eye open for the Apathy.
[Dash level up]
[+2 AGI]

And so on for about 2 more minutes.

Shame I'm going to use this skill with a katana though.
"I'm a bit sleepy... so end this quick."
{Dash} [Inventory: Katana]
I dashed towards the apathy and maneuvered towards it, going on zigzags, a straight line and all sorts of directions to keep it's eyes on me.
"You fell for it."
[Inventory: Boulder(6)]
*CRASH*
I dropped all six of my boulders to distract it and make an artificial opening for me to use against it.
