12 Hunting day

"Muaaah" I slowly sat on a lotus position, Slowly opened my eye and let out a big sigh. "Right, I just want to laze around but ill die if I keep thinking about it"

"Isekai, Other world, and Systems... Ive dreamt about it since I was young, yet for some reason im starting to feel regret" releasing another sigh I walked into the deer jerkys, and cooked them. Like I did yesterday I tried doing some exersize. Finally finished cooking I took the meal and pick up the old sword, "'old' sword... as I was born recently... arent I only weeks old?, I feel like an infant carrying a nuclear release button"

The sword... lucky enough It has the scabbard aswell, but the strap was broken and I cant sew at the moment. I decided that I will take the stick with me and the sword for todays work. "Ah how 'bout making a ghilly suit for the forest?" I thought of putting branches with leaves with me but, that would hinder my movements specially when running. "Perhaps using the other day's green clothes? along with something green to hide me on the bushes"

I took a bath before finally... with teary eyes because of the fishes... starts to decide on what to do to the clothes. In the end I decided to take the camouflage style by covering myself with large leaves and then tying it up using the ripped clothes from yesterday. The knowledge regarding it, somehow flows into my head. I guess it was the influence of a skill or its just that its popular on the battle royale games that I played before, that I thought up of how its made. Up until now I haven't even realized the influence of skills, I tried to think of more ways instead of just sticking to one way so I guess maybe another time

"I think its good enough" Fuahaha, today's the day for me to do the real stuff, as a gamer I can't miss this chance to level up, its like those limited time leveling booster where all you gotta do is abuse them. As I stare at the items for the improvised ghilly suit, Im a little excited at how it will end... hehe. The real trouble is... if I ever encountered something dangerous or if I ever got spotted after all this

Wearing them all and tying them so that they don't fall off easily, its like im a walking green mummy, not much camouflage but still can help me for today. Holding the stick with both hands while the sword was on my bag, I entered the forest,

The forest was the same as before, however this time I didn't encounter anything yet. I was wondering at how will I find any of them, the stick at my hand was sharpened using the knife as I only ever relied on the 'on spot killing' style, as I hid away before striking the target. Oh how I would wanna be an assassin, on games I only focused on both mobility and high damage style, I'm often on the ranger type or katana style that has both attack speed, damage, and mobility improved

A few moments later, upon almost reaching up the end cliff like before, I finally noticed a presence. Sensing its direction by the sound I located its direction. Treants... not that I know what it was since I saw the before, but by using the knowledge I had by the games I played before I can almost decertain it. The appearance of it only ever consist of large roots twisted like wires, It also had buds of leaves growing here and there, the movements was slow but the roots act like an arm and legs, with its eye like thing you can call that a treant no questions asked

"Err how do I fight this thing... Fire? but Im at the forest still" I can't certainly cast off fire here from the fire crystal. Recently Ive found that it has a 3 meter cast range limit

The idea of burning the edges of the sword appeared as well but the heat may further break the old sword

Moving just around them, I tried to think of more ways. "Hmm... ah yes Core, does it have a core?" after having tried the appraisal on it and having gotten nothing from it. I tried searching for other possible ways

"I'm certain that it has a certain critical spot on it and all I have to do is find for a clue " I tried looking on the sides to spot for a lone one

"This should be fine" one treant was away from the others and seems to have been eating out a prey dead spider. "It doesn't have a mouth so it eats using its roots by sucking?" grotesque and seems like drinking from a straw... more precisely a cartoonic type of straw that made waves as it suck. Its worst than I thought, looks like the way they attack is by shooting out its needle like roots. Seriously its 100x more worst than venus flytrap

Crap... MMORPGs certainly do have monsters similar and more worst than that, however actually seing one yourself... you might wanna curse the player or just commit suicide on the spot "hahaha... I feel like I was just having a bad dream afterall and that I have just fallen into coma that day. Seriously wake me now" Having thought that maybe if can kill it first so then I can manage somehow, or maybe lets just use the infamous run away tactic

I wanna joke before I die 'Trick or treant'. I gathered my senses back, it seems that I am going further and further away to being sane but that can still probbably be reverted back to normal later on, hopefully. Taking the sword out of the scabbard from the Bag, I held it firmly as I approached it.

Like someone who was enjoying the meal in front of them, it didnt notice the approach of a threat behind it. After having gotten a considerable distance behind it, with the full momentum filling out the released swing. The treant was cut through its roots till the middle of it, before being sent out into the nearby tree with a 'thud'

The treant died with a loud noise. but nothing else was nearby so it didn't matter. Xylene although a little surprised began to check up on the treant, there's a non moving treant's body that remained. It seemed that it received enough damage and died

The treant had a considerable durability in it, having checked thoroughly I noticed a crystal on its middle. it was cut on half and mostly shattered, having gotten curious I recalled the Apprasal "Identify"

[Monster Core shards: Comes from a broken core of <mutated> type monsters]

"For mutated type monsters... so it was categorized as mutated huh? certainly it should be a plant. I was certainly expecting something similar to those magic stones from novels" having known what it was, I put it on my bag. The light shoot out the same like before but its like being sucked this time

So the target was a core afterall. Its like a slime however instead of being made by Liquids, its actually made of roots. Having known this I wanted to try something else, what else method could I possibly use to avoid a direct combat against it?

"Throwing is one of the skills I currently have" certainly Ive known even before how to throw a javelin, a disc or frisbee, and even poker cards. I held a stone in my hand, I wanted to try and use the stick as a javelin, but the requirements for this needed precision over damage

Even the treants never sensed my approach. With the stones packed at both my hands and bag, I carefully observed the surroundings. 7 of them, it was many and theres no way I could fight them all or even survived after it

Holding firmly on the stone, I carefully picked a position. With the preparation done I threw a stone with power carefully aiming at their core

'Hit' It was a complete mark, the power of the strike punctured a hole at the middle of the treant. It falls to the ground without moving at all

"That was unreal, it was so powerful yet I'm totally oblivious" Never would I know that a simple act as throwing could damage the enemy by this much. All I ever wanted was to break the core

I continued the farce until eventually killing off all the other treants

"..." how would I know how powerful are they if I happen to kill everything in one hit. I also want my own signature trump card but that would be put off to garbage bin if all of my basic attacks have the power equivalent to it

I don't know, I just dont know how much could I do, and what are the things I can't. I don't want to rely on powers alone, I want something else...

If this was considered normal at this world then... maybe the world was dangerous after all. I've certainly read stories like that... and I would most likely want to think that way before my mindset was changed and return back like before...

Umm hmm. Update log? I want to specify it and recall only the new ones "Status, Log"... ... ....

"Status, Recent" Ah wait no, maybe just skill tab... and... update ?

"Skill tab, Update"

[Skills]

{!} Strengthening (Small) = (Large)

{!} Mana Capacity (Small) = (Medium)

{!} Stealth IV = V

{!} Obfuscation Stealth

{!} Essence Stealth

{!} Fatal Strike III =V

{!} Vital Strike I

{!} Tailoring I

{!} Throwing Arts III = V

{!} Appraisal II = III

It worked. It jumped and skipped alot of levels which was funny but having it now is better. I havent checked the title tab for a little while now and Ive gotten curious as the status is had is boosted this much, then its imagine that it didnt change at all , like before I feel the need need to know more "Title, Update"

[Title]

{!} Stealth Adept = Stealth Master = Stealth Specialist

{!} Assassination Adept = Assassination Master = Assassination Specialist

{!} Sleeping Calamity

{!} One who Conceals Power

{!} Throwing Arts Master

"I reached another level... Its cool that I also got to see the stages" Apprentice > Adept > Master> Specialist. I'm sure to reach a new height later on. Ohh being the strongest isnt bad after all... just that I have to keep it myself

Imagine regular people being like this. The world would be chaotic as everyone can prettymuch get everything in one day... but what if it was actually like that? hmm...

"Hold on... Wait a sec... DID IT JUST SAID I WAS A CALAMITY?, Like storms and volcanic eruptions? Im pretty sure its more than that... but Its was pretty rude you know? stabbing you OOOOON the spot would no longer be a questionable action you KNOOOOOOOW!?"

"Despicable!, Just that I can't kill you system doesn't mean that you can write everything you like... Arggh!"

Thus the passage of time passed away and Xylene continued the hunt till evening
