3 ~The wolves and the mine~

"perish in the attempt? That's not very friendly."

Berto said when he heard the voice of the system talking in such a cold and cruel way, but the game world was like that, the strong survive and the weak perish, as in every RPG game it was basic to level up and be more powerful.

The situation became complicated because he didn't know his damage, defense, or what level the wolves were, obviously attacking blindly would lead him to a quick death until one of the wolves decided to attack, bitting his arm and pinning him down on the place he was.

"You Son of...!!"

[You've received 38 base damage -10% = 26 damage received]

[You've been pinned down]

[Rage has begun to be generated]

Berto said in surprise, feeling the pain of the bite.

The creature ran quickly zigzagging from one side to the other, interpreting dodging projectiles, possibly something usual for them to avoid the human hunters or other species that were in the world of Regulus, which used projectile weapons against them in combat.

The wolf approached at such a speed that Berto barely had time to react, allowing it to bite his leg, causing it to kneel. At that moment the sensation that his leg was being squeezed and stabbed by the wolf's sharp teeth was incredibly real, as real as the fear that he began to feel, despite being a game, it didn't stop feeling real, too real.

The other wolves did not lose a second and ran towards Berto, bitting his right arm and leg almost leaving him completely immobilized, while a different wolf emerged from the darkness. larger, with different colored fur and several horns on his head, replicating the appearance of a crown.

[Crowned wolf has appeared]

"Oh, this is bad..."

[Doppelganger is ready to be used. would you like to see a tutorial of the skill before using it?]

"Anything that helps me at this point would be accepted!!"

Berto said, freezing the time almost immediately and appearing in front of him a video showing his skill basically, he had to just think about it and a clone of him would appear to help him, the clone appears and disappear on the command of the original. When the video was over the time started running again, returning to the same position he was in.

"Doppelganger!!"

A chunk of meat emerged from Berto's back, falling to the ground from which two arms suddenly appeared, allowing the clone to get out of the piece of meat, standing up and momentarily looking around, before brutally attacking the nearest wolf with his bare hands.

[Doppelganger has inflicted 308 critical damage on cave wolf]

[Doppelganger has killed Cave Wolf with a critical hit + bonus head damage]

Thwack!

The sound of the fist hitting the wolf's head could be heard in the cave, and the wolf fell to the ground, releasing Berto's leg almost instantly.

Berto with his free arm hit the head of the wolf which was holding his arm and killing him in the same way, freeing himself at once.

"It looks like it's my turn."

The doppelganger made his way to the wolves who attacked him, but he proved to be more resilient to bites so none of them could do much against him and his quick head-butts.

[Doppelganger has killed Cave Wolf with a critical strike + bonus head injury damage]

[Doppelganger has killed Cave Wolf with a critical hit + bonus head damage]

[Doppelganger has killed Cave Wolf with a critical hit + bonus head damage]

The same message was shown several times until the remaining wolves and the crowned wolf decided to take a few steps backward, clearly with the intention of fleeing from the fight.

"Yes, that's right, go. You can't win."

Berto said in a mocking way to the wolf, but he showed to change the option of fleeing to fight and he started to attack Berto, the clear speed of the wolf was nothing compared to the other wolves, but that did not stop the doppelganger from reacting instinctively and using the weight of his body to ram the wolf on his right side when he decided to attack.

[Doppelganger has inflicted 311 damage on crowned wolf]

The clear sound of bones being crushed was heard at the moment of contact between the two bodies, leave the wolf badly injured on the ground, kicking, and trying to stand up again. until the doppelganger with one swift-foot ended the life of the crowned wolf. crushing his head against the cave floor.

The remaining wolves remained defiant for a few moments and then simply turned around and went back into the darkness of the cave from which they emerged. mourning the fall of their pack leader.

[The fight is over]

[Total experience received 1350- 75% = 337 total experience gained]

The experience obtained was being reduced by 75% for the class Berto had chosen, but that only meant that it would take him long to become more powerful, although it was compensated with twice as many attribute points for each level gained.

"This...huuff, wasn't worth it."

Berto leaned on his knees. trying to catch his breath before thinking about what to do there was no village to visit at first because everyone would be hostile to him, but at least he would have been able to make equipment, unfortunately, the crowned wolf and his head were no longer usable because it had been crushed, but his skin, claws, and flesh could be used. until another problem appeared in front of Berto's eyes when he touched the wolf's body.

[Butcher's tools are required to dismantle animals and monsters]

"You... You've got to be kidding me."
