I checked its information as I remained hiding.

I was pleased that my Trait worked on monsters, at least I knew what I was facing.

'I can win'

Although it was a bit dark I got a decent view of how the monster looked.

It had a naked torso, tattered pants, green eyes with sharp teeth, and claws.

I recalled how those teeth easily dug into the woman's neck back in the starting point.

'However'

Its stats were even more pathetic than mine and I was confident I could kill it if I did not make any major mistakes.

I gripped his club tightly and waited for the monster to come near me, I knew that its perception was weak and it would not notice me that easily because of the dark environment.

But just as I was about to act, the monster whipped its head towards my direction,

A chill went down my spine seeing those hungry green eyes, but I acted quickly.

I ran out of my hiding and tried to smash the monster's head with the club.

The monster lunged straight at my neck, its speed was just a bit slower than mine, it did not even bother to avoid the blow.

I was feeling nervous, so I did not properly calculate the monster's trajectory, instead of the head, I ended up hitting its shoulder.

Crack!

The sound of bones cracking resounded in the place and I felt an uncomfortable feeling well up inside me.

The monster crashed on the ground because of the blow but did not seem to feel any pain. It crawled towards him with the same hungry eyes.

I was starting to get pissed off seeing the look in its eyes, it dared to see him as prey?

I walked forward and smashed the Club right on its head,

Smash!

Again and again, I smashed the club on its already squashed head.

Smash!

'Die'

Smash!

I vented all my frustration on it and only stopped when I was feeling tired.

"Haah.. haah..."

My heart was beating fast and my club were covered in blood.

It was the first time I killed something alive.

I shakily looked at the bloody mess the place had become.

[Strength +1]

But, I could not help but grin when I felt the power course through my body.

I was right, killing these monsters was the right thing to do.

Although I felt tired, I decided it was best to leave the place as soon as possible. The blood might attract more monsters.

'I will kill all the monsters I encounter and raise my stats as much as possible.'

...

It was easier to hunt them after ridding myself of fear.

Although it was tiring, I only fought one monster at a time and prioritized not getting injured.

But, I was also starting to understand why my potential was below average.

I was pretty sure that my below-average potential was the reason I was growing so slowly. I had only received 1 point in Endurance after all the hunting I did.

'It's hard'

I had to be fully concentrated on each battle, and even though I rested in between I was starting to reach my limit.

I realized that this could not continue.

'I am not suited for melee battles'

Although I felt bad about it, my life was more important so I came to a conclusion after a bit of thinking,

'I need reliable allies'

With my Trait, he could see one's true character, in fact, if that Burly man's character had not been 'Savage', I would have chosen to stick with him and thoroughly used him.

But, I did not meet anyone as of yet, so I put the thought in the back of my mind and continued hunting, it was more important to get a class, maybe it might help with my situation.

I was sitting on the floor and quietly eating the food I had picked up when it happened,

"Kyaaa!"

'Damn!'

I could guess that the voice was female.

I wanted to get away from here but it was already too late.

The voice was getting closer and I could already see that the situation was pretty bad,

Seeing that it was too late to avoid it I picked up my Bloodstained Club and waited for what was to come.

I was already starting to feel a headache when I thought about this.

It was nice and all to have an ally but they had to be capable as well, and more importantly, be willing to help me otherwise everything was for naught.

Food was also limited, so I hoped that whoever it was they would have their own food.

I won't hesitate to abandon others if they were useless, I needed allied not burdens.

When I stepped closer, I could see a woman being chased by two monsters.

A pretty face, tattered clothes, but that was all.

No weapons, no food.

'A burden'

I checked the abilities of the monsters behind her, seeing that they were the same weak monsters he had faced before he focused on her status.

'What the hell!?'

I could hardly believe that the girl running towards me had such absurd stats.

Unlike me, whose Magic stat was still zero, hers was a whopping 10.

It would be a lie if I said I wasn't a little jealous.

Of course, the thought of abandoning her had already vanished, she was the perfect ally and even her Character was naive, which made me grin.

Having found me, she ran towards me with tears in her eyes.

I gestured her to come this way and she ran as fast as she could.

"Wait in the corner"

"Ye-yes"

After the woman finally reached the side, I immediately took action.

I swung my Club with all my strength directly crushed the leading monster's head.

Smash!

But, the second monster was already close to me and it looked like it was going to be difficult to avoid injuries, it seems like I was still not ready to face two monsters at the same time, I had always avoided when there were two monsters before, but I gritted my teeth and persevered for the sake of impressing the woman.

The moment the second monster was about to reach me, a sword pierced through its chest and it crashed down on the ground.

"Huh?"

Someone had helped us.

After the monster collapsed, I saw a familiar face I had seen once before.

It was the peculiar man with piercing eyes he had seen at the starting point.
